Have you pursued energy efficiency retrofits for a building? Chances are it was a long and complicated process due to the lack of standardization. GBCI's IREE certification aligns existing industry-accepted technical standards into a standardized project development and quality assurance process to ensure that energy efficiency projects are consistent and adhere to high-performance and impact criteria. As the U.S. moves toward significant #decarbonization of its buildings, the need for a standardized approach in the commercial energy efficiency industry cannot be overstated. IREE certification is more than just a certification; it's a crucial underpinning for creating a scalable, investable market. Learn more about whether IREE certification could work for your projects. https://bit.ly/4aLYOaT

In this free webinar with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specialists, you'll explore #buyclean initiatives, the disclosure of environmental impacts, and how this can result in meaningful #carbon reduction. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly available to disclose environmental impacts within construction materials. Unlike operational #energy impacts, which happen over time and leave room for incremental improvement, the large majority of embodied carbon impacts happen before a building is even occupied, and remain “stuck” in our building stock until the structure is demolished or deconstructed. Using EPDs is critical to reducing the overall #environmental impacts of the infrastructure we use in society. Learn more on 21 March: https://lnkd.in/gHM4YpfA
