Description

Participants can join the round table of their choice. Each roundtable leader will spend the first 15 minutes on a case study, lessons learned, or industry update. This will be followed by a 45-minute open discussion with all participants, moderated by the leader. The final 15 minutes will be used to identify 3-5 industry recommendations resulting from the group discussion. Key recommendations will be shared with the entire audience, and all roundtable recommendations will be included in the post-event report.

Section 3: Planning & Operational Strategies

  1. The Phased Roadmap: How to plan multi-year decarbonization without disrupting tenant operations or "locking in" inefficient tech.
  2. Electrification in Practice: Real-world challenges of swapping gas-fired boilers for heat pumps in high-rise and cold-climate applications.
  3. Data-Driven Operations: Moving beyond the audit—using AI and real-time building analytics to identify hidden "low-hanging fruit" in HVAC performance.
  4. The Human Element: Strategies for training facility teams and engaging occupants to ensure retrofitted systems perform as engineered.
