SUMMARY:Northeast Sustainable Energy Association: Pro Tour - Net-Zero Retrofit of a 1940s Elementary School
DESCRIPTION:This August\, NESEA will head to Connecticut to offer a tour of a renovated and expanded 1940s elementary school that has been transformed into a modern\, net-zero facility\, complete with a 66 well geothermal HVAC system\, to serve 400 students. \nOriginally built in 1949\, this project highlights the practical implementation of cutting-edge sustainable design principles in a real-world setting\, while also showing the challenges and opportunities of transforming outdated school infrastructure into modern\, net zero energy facilities. From its geothermal HVAC system and rooftop solar array to its interdisciplinary STEAM spaces and improved circulation design\, the project offers a comprehensive look at innovative solutions that align with both environmental and educational goals. \nThe event will begin with an opening workshop where the team will discuss the history\, goals\, and design and construction strategies. Attendees will then break into small groups to tour the school while hearing more from the interdisciplinary team of experts who made the building possible. After the tour\, you’ll regroup for a reception and Q&A\, giving attendees the opportunity to chat with the day’s speakers and each other.

SUMMARY:EBC Webinar: From Barriers to Blueprints: Evolving Environmental Regulations for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Adaptation Forum is a collaboration between the Environmental Business Council and the Sustainable Solutions Lab at the University of Massachusetts Boston. \nAs the climate crisis accelerates\, state and local governments are rethinking outdated policies and building a regulatory foundation for climate resilience. This Forum will spotlight innovative approaches to updating regulations\, many of which were originally written without climate change in mind\, to support adaptation projects that address sea level rise\, flooding\, and extreme weather. \nThrough case studies from across the U.S.\, including New Jersey’s overhaul of land use policies\, Cape Cod’s climate-focused regional plan\, and the Vermont Flood Safety Act\, we’ll explore how forward-looking jurisdictions are embedding climate adaptation into permitting\, zoning\, and design standards. \nSpeakers will discuss the process of developing enforceable frameworks\, the importance of accommodating dynamic coastlines and shifting baselines\, and the tools being used to navigate uncertainty. \nAttendees will gain insight into how regulations are being reshaped as catalysts for resilient infrastructure\, healthy ecosystems\, and equitable community protection. \nForum Speakers\nCommissioner Shawn M.
