Introduction to Sustainability and Future Cities Boot Camp
Climate change has forced a top-to-bottom reconsideration of how municipalities regulate and energize the built environment. In New York City, recent local laws governing everything from carbon emission standards to sustainable roofing, Energy Star Ratings, and PACE financing is having a systemic impact on the way the private and public sectors plan, design, build, and operate buildings.
In response to the above, Brooklyn Law School is offering a one-day boot camp to provide participants a forward-looking immersion into the regulatory and market landscape defining sustainability and how it applies to the urban environment. Topics will include:
• How market forces and new legislation are propelling innovation in sustainability;
• How green contracts are impacting designers, developers, and contractors;
• How recent developments in NYC might foreshadow systemic changes to national infrastructure;
• How advances in green technology (including innovations in building materials, sensors, and smart systems) will disrupt building infrastructure; and
• How regulation of the private sector and other market factors will continue to influence the sustainability of our built environment.
