The built environment plays a significant role in climate change and resource depletion, making transitioning to sustainable design practices an imperative for the AEC industry. This symposium will address the intersection of architectural practice, technological innovation, and environmental stewardship.
Through expert-led panels, you'll learn about strategies for integrating AI, optimizing building performance, and navigating the evolving landscape of sustainable design and regulatory compliance. Plus explore the practical application of advanced technologies, the importance of carbon accounting methodologies, and collaborative approaches for fostering resilient and equitable built environments—all with an emphasis on actionable solutions for small and medium-sized AEC firms.
Lunch will be provided.
