Can a Free Market Multi-Story Spec Office Building Be Energy Positive?

Central and Wolfe Campus

Why, yes, it can!

Join Alexis Karolides, our Sustainability Practice Leader and Principal Architect at the Living Future unConference and she’ll tell you how.

Point Energy and Landbank recently evaluated options for achieving “net zero” at a proposed 777,000 SF development, which would be the largest yet. Alexis Karolides, Principal, Point Energy and Scott Jacobs, CEO, Landbank Investments, LLC will present real challenges faced by “even the greenest” developers. They’ll present each option’s pros, cons, costs, “greenness,” and newness relative to current buildings. Participants will assess & select best options & discuss how to address market barriers, and how society, our laws, and the marketplace, can signal us to make the right choices.
