On the last day of the conference, enjoy breakfast with your peers while hearing different perspectives on how the reuse, retrofit, and rehabilitation of older and historic buildings can help address climate change. Shockingly, existing buildings are responsible for almost 37 percent of carbon emissions and more than a third of existing buildings in the U.S. are over 50 years old. 

In a powerful keynote address, Donnel Baird, the visionary founder and CEO of BlocPower, a Brooklyn-based technology company, will describe how to measurably reduce carbon emissions by retrofitting residential homes and buildings in underserved communities. Afterwards, Baird will discuss implementation of his ideas with Mike Grote with the Alembic Community Development and Jenny Parker from the National Park Service. Presented in partnership with The 1772 Foundation.

One lucky person present at the Rehab Revolution Breakfast will receive a free conference registration to attend next year’s conference!
