Course Description: As building performance standards continue to evolve, there is growing interest in new approaches that could accelerate decarbonization—but many of these ideas have yet to be tested at scale.
In this session, you’ll explore what’s next for building performance, including emerging strategies, persistent barriers, and the conditions needed to support innovation. We’ll look at why experimentation can be difficult in risk-averse environments and what it takes to move new ideas forward.
You’ll gain practical strategies for building support, designing effective pilots and creating opportunities to learn from both successes and challenges.
Whether you’re shaping programs, policies, or pilots, this session will help you think ahead and identify opportunities to drive meaningful progress.
Learning Objectives:
Recall promising approaches that haven’t yet been implemented at scale
Explain the barriers that prevent experimentation in the current landscape
Analyze institutional risk factors that inhibit innovation
Evaluate strategies for creating space for experimental approaches
Design experiments that generate learning regardless of outcome
