Pittsburg, PA
This session will be an interactive workshop where attendees will explore a hypothetical federal installation. Various locations and types of facilities within that installation will be explored by the moderator, subject matter experts, and attendees to see which technologies and systems can be applied to address decarbonization requirements. This session will also address some common myths and misconceptions about decarbonization technologies such as "heat pumps can't work in cold climates."

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Identify technologies and practices to improve office buildings towards net zero energy and emissions;
- Identify technologies and practices to improve dining facilities towards net zero energy and emissions;
- Identify technologies and practices to improve hospitals and clinics towards net zero energy and emissions;
- Identify technologies and practices to support their sites becoming 100% resilient and independent of the local power grid's operation, as well as becoming closer to net zero energy and emissions;
- Identify where to find and how to apply good practices to support their site's net zero energy and emissions progress.
