A High Performance Building Series white paper is also available in PDF format for download. This printable write-up of each the four events in the Reimagining the Metropolis series also includes a round-up of the first HPB series featuring pioneers in the field.
Revisit New York's High Performance Building frontier with the Pioneers.
Today, benchmarking building energy performance is the law in New York City, San Francisco, Austin, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Today, too, benchmarking tools for gathering, measuring and making sense of building energy consumption data are works-in-progress, not yet universally applicable to all building types and occupancy conditions.
Energy efficiency retrofits of the urban building stock have great potential reduce energy use as well as achieve significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Energy savings of 22% could be cost-effectively achieved in the commercial building sector through retrofitting, resulting in the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs. For building owners, these retrofits can reduce energy costs, resulting in an improved bottom line and an enhanced value in the marketplace.
Sallan Events (1/8)
Market Makers:
Developing & Deploying Energy Efficiency Technology in NYC
Market Makers Event two wrap-up is chock full of information and resources.
Learn how New York property owners, tenants and retrofit teams are leading the way toward making energy efficiency the hallmark of big city real-estate and helping Gotham thrive.
Market Makers:
Developing & Deploying Energy Efficiency Technology in NYC
A panel exploring the emergence and growth of New York City's clean tech sector via case studies on green building advances and locally-sourced efficiency technologies — an Official Event of Climate Week NYºC 2011 — took place at the New York Academy of Sciences.
Re-imagining the Metropolis:
Visions For A Near Future
Now, we must accelerate our pace — in understanding and rethinking city functions — to reinvent the metropolis. In this final forum of our series, panelists explored how New York will be challenged and may be transformed by emerging trends.
Reimagining the Metropolis:
Revolution is No Joke
A Banker, A Lawyer & An Underwriter Walk Into A Bar — our 3rd event of a 4-part series — got serious about developing the means to assign monetary value to high performance properties, tracking and comparing their performance as well as tackling thorny issues of code enforcement and LEEDigation.
Reimagining the Metropolis:
Making it Happen
Our second event of a four part series on high performance building in New York City zeroed in on public policy developments, private sector innovation and how they have intersected over the last half-decade.
Reimagining the Metropolis:
The Big Picture
Our sold-out first event at the AIA New York Center for Architecture conveyed the Big Picture — a wide-angle view of what has been achieved, what's been learned and what's next for New York City's revolution in high performance building.
Get Past the Past: Climate Change Adaptation In & Around NYC
Presented as a part of Climate Week NY°C in partnership with the New York Academy of Sciences, the Sallan Foundation co-sponsored a panel discussion to find out how experts think through complex climate adaptation issues — some of which are well beyond the realm of past experience — and how decisions about adaptation are being made.
Smart Grid For Smart Cities
The US faces a four-part crisis: climate change and rising emissions linked to energy consumption; volatile energy prices and affordability; energy security; and electric power reliability in the face of spiraling demand.
Smart Grid For Smart Cities, a conference held at NYU Wagner, plugged into the potential for power system solutions at the urban scale.

The Data-Driven Built Environment
30 May
Today, benchmarking building energy performance is the law in leading US cities and the real estate industry is turning to metrics to validate building performance and establish market value. The effort to acquire organized building energy data is grounded in the proposition that public access to systematic performance data counts.
Driven by innovation in energy efficiency and the effectiveness of building technologies, this data revolution could transform marketplace dynamics, but what does this data mean and how much is it worth?

Is Atlantic Wind Energy In Our Future
21 May
Google has pledged $5 billion for an ambitious offshore wind energy plan to deliver renewable power to the Middle Atlantic States and the Atlantic coast is estimated to have a wind energy capacity of 100,000 MW, equivalent to 50 Indian Point nuclear power plants. Now, Governor Cuomo is calling for Indian Point to be shut down and its output needs to be replaced. What lies ahead?
