8:30 opening Remarks From the Chair

8:45 Scoping out the Sustainable Building Retrofit Landscape and opportunities in Existing Building Stock - Industry Leaders and pioneers Share perspectivesWith development and construction plans for green buildings grinding to a halt in today’s economic climate, a growing number of companies are implementing green retrofits with surprisingly positive money saving results including: improved productivity, lower absenteeism and health care costs, strengthening of brand equity. additionally, a growing number of real estate investors are seeking out green portfolios as the real estate sector boasting the best Roi. our participants will discuss the reasons behind their choices and decisions to invest in, finance, market and/or manage sustainable building retrofits. they will also discuss the future outlook for this market including topics addressing:

• Retrofitting as an alternative to development

• Investing and/or managing sustainable building retrofits: Is sooner better & why?

• What are the overall costs one can expect when retrofitting properties

• Do the participants really believe sustainability gives them a competitive advantage and, if so, why?

• Where are the best opportunities in existing stock for retrofits?

9:45 Defining Sustainability and how to Achieve it through Retrofitting: Retro CommissioningBeginning with an overview of what is considered sustainability, including the role of Leed certification and discussion of what changes can be made to existing buildings that will meet the criteria of sustainability. this session will clarify what areas industry participants may want to focus on when deciding to invest in, manage or broker building retrofits. discussion points will include:

• What determines what is sustainable: Leed certification? Carbon Neutral?

• What are some of the retrofit protocols?

Learn how new policies at both a state and Federal level are being developed to create a level playing field and the foundation for a sustainable industry to emerge. additionally, the session offers insight into creating a sustainable marketplace for energy efficiency retrofitting, while outlining the course of action necessary to scale the industry to meet aggressive carbon reduction and economic stimulus goals.
