It’s common belief that we need to make significant changes to the building industry by the year 2030 to address critical issues of climate change. And we don’t have time to waste. So what needs to happen? All year, ECOHOME has gathered thought leaders in the industry via its Vision 2020 program to chart the path forward to the year 2030, with a specific focus on the year 2020 as a waypoint to track progress. On Sept. 4, we gathered our esteemed section chairs, program sponsors, and invited guests–all key players in the sustainable building realm–to discuss the path forward, addressing both the challenges and opportunities ahead. Stay tuned for the Winter 2013 issue of ECOHOME for an in-depth look at the results of the 2013 program. In the meantime, however, here’s a snapshot of key talking points all green building professionals should be discussing.
