USGBC MD, NCR, and VA: Government Decarbonization Summit, April 26
Event Description

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is a historic down payment on deficit reduction to fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. But what does this $737 billion investment mean to the green building industry? How are local governments ramping up in anticipation of the funding? How can the incentives be accessed and applied on local green buildings?

This one-day summit unlocks the potential of the IRA investment in moving local communities and markets towards decarbonization. Join with city and county officials, LEED professionals, utilities, and other stakeholders as we dig into the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of the IRA. Learn how the region is reacting to, preparing for, and actively moving toward a carbon-free future at scale.

This summit will help you:

- Navigate the landscape in accessing IRA funds

- Replicate best practices and policies from leading industry peers in the public and private sectors

- Access resources that bring sustainability and decarbonization to scale across cities, counties, and building portfolios

- Build a network of resources and knowledge sharing on decarbonization.
