Join Illinois Green Alliance and the Building Energy Hub for our first-ever interactive game night! We’ll start with a quick refresher on key decarbonization concepts, then we’ll break the group into small teams to build a mock decarb plan for a real-world building scenario. Working together, teams will weigh strategies for cutting greenhouse gas emissions against practical realities like cost, trigger events, and site-specific conditions—the same trade-offs practitioners navigate every day.  

Whether you're deep in this work or just getting started, come ready to collaborate, share your expertise, and work through the decision-making behind effective building decarbonization alongside your peers.
