How Low (on Energy and Carbon) Can Buildings in China and the U.S. Go?
The Wlison Center's China Environment Forum presents a panel on the growing movement to reverse energy use increases in homes.
When:
May 8, 2018 10:00am to 12:00pm
Where
Cities consume 70% of global energy, with building construction and operation creating the largest energy footprint. Buildings are energy hungry in both the United States and China, using 40% and 20% of urban energy, respectively. In the United States and China, the real estate and construction sectors generate 40% of each country’s carbon emissions. CEF is co-hosting this May 8th event with the Kissinger Institute and the Urban Sustainability Lab, welcoming speakers from U.S. and Chinese companies and NGOs. They will discuss how their organizations are working to lower the energy, pollution, and carbon footprints of the two largest construction sectors and some of the fastest growing real estate markets in the world.
