Climate Toolkit Pittsburgh Webinar 1:
Energy Efficiency & Indoor Air Quality
The built environment, which includes all human-made buildings and infrastructure, is responsible for approximately 42% of annual global CO2 emissions and represents a huge slice of the climate puzzle.
The first presentation in our new webinar series features Tobias Chan, Director of Building Performance & Engagement at Green Building Alliance, discussing strategies for lowering those emissions by enhancing local building performance, maximizing energy efficiency and improving indoor air quality.
