About this event
Join us and industry-leading experts on sustainability for the first part of a two-part series to discuss how we best green the places where we live, and engage the tenant population. This is about health and resiliency, but ultimately how our homes and shared spaces evolve to better protect us in the face of climate change. We will discuss best practices, materials, affordability, and how to create long-term value for a property. From our record drought to an increasing number of high heat days and wildfire risk, our expert designers, builders, realtors, and more will discuss how LA can lead in building the green homes of the future.
Networking Breakout session topics will include:
- Interior Design
- Native Landscaping & Pollinators
- Solar and Energy Storage
- Induction Cooking / Heatpumps
- Policy
- Water Conservation
- Wildfire Defense
- Occupant Health (Air Quality/Materials)
