Decarb Technology Summit
Technology Showcase Summit – Agenda
Attendees of the Technology Showcase Summit will explore the most impactful innovations for decarbonizing building stocks in NYC and the greater Northeast. Participants will learn how electrified HVAC systems, AI-driven building controls, high-performance envelopes, solar, geothermal, and energy storage technologies can dramatically reduce carbon emissions and operational costs.
They will also discover the role of digital twins, drones, and carbon tracking platforms in optimizing building performance, identifying inefficiencies, and meeting local and regional climate mandates. The Summit provides a hands-on perspective on how these solutions integrate to create sustainable, energy-efficient, and resilient urban buildings.
Through 20-minute focused presentations, attendees will gain actionable insights into both retrofit and new construction strategies, from passive design and advanced materials to renewable integration and predictive analytics.
We end the day with interactive roundtables for attendees to unpack the presentations, discuss solutions and network.
The Summit is designed for building owners, operators, landlords, developers, REITs, investors, sustainability experts, and legal advisors. Beyond the sessions, participants will have opportunities for networking and collaboration with peers, technology providers, and industry experts.
