Why You Won't Want To Miss This CRE Deal-Making Summit:

What You'll Learn From This Commercial Real Estate Conference:

  • Learn the steps for implementing ESG and sustainability goals within your organization and how to set meaningful benchmarks.
  • Gain insights into how the Washington law (HB 1257) will impact building requirements and codes and strategize effective compliance measures.
  • Discover budget-friendly methods for tracking ESG progress and benchmarks efficiently.
  • Explore best practices in construction and pre-construction processes, emphasizing sustainable building development and material usage.
  • Develop standardized language and criteria within your organization to effectively pursue ESG and sustainability goals.
  • Explore cutting-edge innovations in development and construction, including advancements in smart buildings, green materials and circular economy strategies, shaping the future of the built environment.
  • Identify favored construction methods and materials in sustainable developments and re-developments and understand their impact on environmental goals.

 

Sustainability and Building Codes You Should Be Mindful of

  • The codes approved by the state Building Code Council last week will require new buildings to meet higher efficiency standards than before, without explicitly mandating heat pumps.
  • The Clean Buildings for Washington law (HB 1257), being implemented by the Washington State Department of Commerce, applies to all “Tier 1” commercial buildings larger than 50K SF. In 2022, the State expanded the requirements to cover smaller commercial buildings (20,001 - 50K SF) and “Tier 2” multifamily buildings greater than 20K SF.
  • The new building efficiency standards Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell signed into law last month are expected to reduce Seattle's building sector emissions by 27% — and overall citywide emissions by 10% — by 2050.

 

How You'll Do More Business From Attending This Event: Seattle is aggressively targeting air pollution from buildings with a new city law that will require large buildings to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The progressive city is leading the charge with building and energy codes that are pushing the CRE community to go green. Join us for an insightful event as we bring on industry leaders to discuss everything from effectively implementing goals and requirements into your organization to setting benchmarks and key strategies for constructing and developing sustainable buildings.

Who You'll Network With At This Discussion: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, city and government officials, business consultants, architects, engineers, lawyers, accountants and bankers.
