Carbon Planning: Implementing Low C Communities
9:30am - 10:20am
Workshop Session A
This workshop helps developers, planners, and professionals with tools and resources to address embodied and operational carbon goals in planning future communities. Renewable energy integration, building standards, and community layouts will be progressively analyzed through city, community, and site scales to help attendees identify opportunities and policy objectives to create low carbon community plans within our current legislative framework. Much of the workshop will focus on setting appropriate policy regimes, efficiency strategies, and design parameters for low carbon and energy efficient communities. Participants are encouraged to participate in discussions to develop actionable roadmaps suitable for implementation in real applications.
