The 2023 Getting to Zero Forum program has been released – join us in Minneapolis in May!

Join us for three content-filled days with the most in-demand thought leaders addressing solutions for the built environment, including Plenary speakers Andrew Mayock, Federal Chief Sustainability Officer at the White House, and Tonya Allen, President of the McKnight Foundation. As we continue to provide the latest thinking on building decarbonization, we have introduced three new topic areas to the 2023 program: embodied carbon, market development, and electrification.

The CIRRUS™ Low Carbon program charts a practical and actionable course to a low carbon future. Using a low carbon design specification, developed collaboratively by PACE Equity and New Buildings Institute, CIRRUS Low Carbon provides lower interest rates to developers who make incremental efficiency improvements to buildings.

Projects that have been verified so far include a redevelopment of a historic concert venue, housing for a private liberal arts college, and other diverse and exciting spaces. Learn more about the program and some of the projects that have received as-designed verification so far in the link below. See More Recent Projects Here
