To accelerate the progress of GHG emissions reductio ns in this critical decade\, the decision-making framework behind investme nts in energy efficiency or sustainable energy in the built environment\, by public and private sector actors and civil society alike\, needs to be updated to include both today’s costs and tomorrow’s cost of inaction or delay.

In both a carbon- and often budget-constrained world\, the calculus made by organizations faced with a decision to replac e or upgrade key energy assets – whether it is in a school\, hospital\, office building\, or community more broadly – also needs to price in a r ange of economic\, environmental\, health\, and operational benefits\, too .

By taking a more holistic view of these projects\, the decision to deploy more efficient lighting or sustainable cooling and heat ing systems can move more quickly from a deferred or delayed investment st age to an approved and installed project. This panel of practitioners will define the true benefit-cost of sustainable energy upgrades and share pro ject experiences that have delivered a broad suite of climate benefits.

Speakers include:

Opening remarks from Brendan Owens\, Ass istant Secretary of Defense for Energy\, Installations\, and Environment & amp\; Chief Sustainability Officer\, U.S. Department of Defense
Bob Hinkle\, President and CEO \, Metrus Energy
Kevin Rabinovitch\, Vice Pr esident\, Sustainability\, Mars
Mayor Hollies Winston\, City of Brooklyn Park\, MN
