CAAP Engagement Event – Commercial and Industrial Buildings
June 7 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Do you design, develop, own, manage, or operate a commercial or industrial building in the city of Grand Rapids? E.H.Zero’s Commercial Climate Advisory Team (C-CAT), in partnership with the City of Grand Rapids, the Grand Rapids 2030 District, the Community Collaboration on Climate Change, and the Sustainable Business Forum, invites you to identify and prioritize strategies and actions for inclusion in the Commercial Buildings chapter of the City of Grand Rapids Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). This chapter will include strategies and action items that will reduce energy consumption/GHG emissions and increase climate resilience for commercial and industrial businesses located in the city of Grand Rapids.
At this event, City staff and partners will review a draft of the Commercial Building chapter of the CAAP, which the C-CAT helped create and includes strategies to:
- Create and sustain the infrastructure, information and engagement needed to reduce energy and emissions from commercial buildings
- Reduce existing commercial building energy consumption
- Ensure the design and construction of high-performing commercial buildings that are low to zero-emissions
- Support on-site installation or procurement of renewable energy systems (included in the Energy chapter of the CAAP)
We will also discuss the best way to embed the CAAP’s key themes of equity, economic prosperity, health, resilience and collaboration in the Commercial Buildings Chapter.
Our goal is to engage as diverse of an audience as possible; please limit registration to no more than two representatives from the same organization.
Lunch will be provided.
