Green Table Talk: Series Overview
Real Talk on Buildings, Energy, and Leveling Up Your Space
Let’s get into it—Green Table Talk is where community meets climate action. Hosted by the Building Innovation Hub, this three-part series is all about cutting through the noise and breaking down what BEPS (that’s Building Energy Performance Standards) really means for your building, your budget, and your block.
Whether you’re a property owner, tenant, manager, or just trying to figure out how all this energy stuff affects your space—we got you.
Here’s what’s on the table:
Session 1: Foundations & Fundamentals
What is BEPS? Who does it impact? Why should you care? We’re laying it all out—no jargon, just straight-up facts to help you understand what’s coming and how to stay ahead.
Session 2: Finding the Funds
Money talks. We’ll walk you through all the local programs, funding, and incentives out there—from DCSEU to DC Green Bank—to help you actually do the work without breaking the bank.
Session 3: Making It Happen
You’ve heard the rules—now meet the folks putting them into action. This session brings in real examples from the community so you can see what BEPS looks like in real life, and learn what works (and what to avoid).
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation. Pack your lunch, pull up a chair, bring your questions, and let’s build something better—together.
