Course Description: A range of program approaches have been used to support building decarbonization—but which ones are most effective, and why?
In this session, you’ll explore how different program designs have performed across real-world applications. We’ll look at what has worked, what hasn’t and the factors that influenced those outcomes. Rather than focusing only on case study summaries, we’ll examine the underlying mechanics that drive success or lead to challenges.
You’ll develop practical frameworks to guide program design decisions and learn how to adapt proven approaches to your specific context. We’ll also explore the balance between standardization for scale and customization for effectiveness.
Whether you’re designing new programs or refining existing ones, this session will help you make more informed, strategic decisions.
Learning Objectives:
Recall major program design approaches for building decarbonization
Explain why certain program models succeeded or failed in specific contexts
Analyze program designs for fit with building performance standards (BPS) compliance pathways
Evaluate trade-offs between standardization and customization
Design program elements that balance scale with effectiveness
