Why You Should Attend This 2026 Boston Sustainability Event
What You’ll Learn:
- How are Boston building owners navigating the first years of binding BERDO 2.0 emissions limits and what compliance strategies, flexibility measures, and portfolio structures are proving most effective?
- With key IRA credits expiring, how are developers and building owners structuring deals today to preserve project economics and lock in incentives before the window closes?
- What low-carbon construction materials, building systems, and design strategies are delivering the best performance outcomes and how do they hold up under real-world cost and schedule pressure?
- How are Boston-area building owners decarbonizing existing assets while managing tenant disruption and capital timing?
- With Massachusetts pursuing 5 GW of battery storage by 2030 how should CRE owners think about on-site storage, PPAs, and renewable energy procurement strategy?
- How is Boston's grid resilience posture changing and what responsibilities do large commercial building owners have to prepare for extreme weather, outages, and rising electrification demand?
