About This Training
Join USGBC California and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) for a focused conversation on how the next wave of innovation, policy, and practical strategy is moving the building sector toward net positive performance. A place in time and physical space where environmental solutions create more value than they consume.
“What California is teaching us is clear: net zero isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point.”
This interactive webinar will spotlight key levers that companies should prioritize over the next 2 to 5 years. These are moves with strong business cases and the potential to deliver both environmental and operational upside. We’ll explore how California’s leadership in buildings, materials, water, and electrification is being applied across sectors, and what others can learn from it.
What to expect:
• Priority Moves for Positive Impact
Discover the most actionable building strategies with high returns and low regret, designed to lower emissions, raise performance, and deliver long-term value.
• California’s Role as a Testbed
Explore how progressive policy meets innovation on the ground, across electrification, clean construction, materials, water, and health.
• Spotlight: Startups Driving Change
Hear from Net Zero Accelerator alumni moving from pilot to practice, and what their journey reveals about what’s possible when innovation meets implementation.
• Tools You Can Use
Attendees will receive a post-event package including a 2-page insight summary, curated resources, and a digest of key Q&A moments.
This session is built for those ready to move from efficiency to regeneration, from risk mitigation to opportunity creation. Let’s explore what it takes to shift from net zero to net positive.
