Eric’s two sessions are:
Carbon Based Lifeforms Creating Zero Carbon Building
In the next decade, more than 6,000 cities, states, and provinces around the world will try to do something that has eluded humanity for 50 years: reduce carbon emissions. But at our rate of urbanization, we’re building the equivalent of a city the size of New York every five weeks. Ideas that seem crazy today will seem sane in ten years. During this session, we will take an inspirational look at the global crises facing the world and a variety of ways to transform your business to adapt to a warmer, wetter world. Learn how to link design to outcome and uncover new ways to expand your business. Hear from an award-winning architect and author in a lively discussion that will change how you look at the near future.
