NESEA Member Passes Are $135 for BuildingEnergy NYC!
Due to the shifting nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, including new guidance from the CDC for New York County, NESEA has made the decision to shift BuildingEnergy NYC to a fully virtual event. While we are disappointed to not be able to gather in person, we are also confident that we can make BuildingEnergy NYC 2021 a truly excellent event.
The conference will still take place on September 29 & 30, on a platform that prioritizes accessibility and connection. We are looking forward to providing top-notch accredited sessions (and recordings of all sessions), an inspiring keynote address, networking opportunities, and a vibrant and interactive Methods & Materials Showcase. You can earn CEUs for AIA, BPI, GBCI, PHIUS, RESNET, and NYS PE certification.
With member pricing, a Virtual 2-Day Pass is $135. Register today!

 New Embodied Carbon Report from Canada
Natural Resources Canada and Builders for Climate Action have released a new report. To date, actions to reduce GHG emissions from the built environment focus entirely on operational emissions, as with Canada's performance tiers in the National Building Code. This study examines the scale and scope of those emissions arising from the manufacturing of building materials for the Canadian homebuilding sector, and shows that annual emissions could be between 8-20 million tonnes for new homes. Read the report.
