Buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, with approximately 28% contributed from operational emissions. As the market demand grows for efficient, high-performing assets, decarbonization has emerged as a strategic pathway to increase asset value, reduce operational costs, and boost long-term market appeal.

This webinar will explore GBI’s Green Globes Journey to Net Zero assessment and certification program—an accessible, cost-effective framework designed to help commercial real estate owners and project teams measure, reduce, and report on energy and carbon reductions. GBI experts will provide practical guidance for understanding how this nationally recognized program supports compliance with Chicago’s Sustainable Development Policy and helps project teams meet energy and carbon reduction goals.

Whether just beginning or well on your way to decarbonization, learn how to measure progress and demonstrate transparency and accountability towards net-zero goals.
