Hello Santa Monica Green Building Stakeholders,

Please join us on Friday, April 28, from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for the second in a series of workshops to develop Building Performance Standards (BPS), a key component of the City’s existing building decarbonization efforts. This event will be held virtually on MS Teams.

In our first workshop, we gathered a diverse set of green building stakeholders to set the foundation for developing a Santa Monica Building Performance Standards policy. Santa Monica’s buildings account for 33% of citywide GHG emissions. The City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan calls for a 20% reduction in fossil fuel use in existing buildings by 20% by 2030, and the recently released Existing Building Electrification Roadmap outlines potential future policies & pathways to equitably decarbonize Santa Monica's existing building sector. You are invited to continue to help shape these policies for our community.

We are inviting policy experts, real estate professionals, architects, energy modelers, designers, building owners and managers, and other green building stakeholders to co-develop an Existing Building Decarbonization policy for Santa Monica. An agenda will be shared in advance of the workshop. Please forward this event to anyone else who fits the above description. Thank you in advance for lending your time and expertise.
