Panel Description:

The trend in high performance design now positions LEED as the minimum
standard for buildings, and then aggressively exceeds it. The next
generation of buildings will aim to be carbon neutral, achieve net zero
energy, zero water, and zero waste. Enabled by advanced engineering,
material ingenuity, and lower costs for dynamic building modeling software,
3D imaging and 3D fabrication, these advancements in green building are
already changing the markets. With a panel of experts from urban design,
real estate development,local authorities, and green building, this panel
will explore the future of high performance design, including innovations
such as high rise urban farms, distributed energy generation, and highly
adaptable infrastructure.
