Greening the Built Environment in San Francisco
In 2009, the stock of LEED certified square footage in San Francisco increased 5-fold to 16.8 million LEED certified square feet as of December 1. Existing Buildings account for 75 percent this local LEED certified square footage, including properties ranging from the iconic Pyramid to historic 601 Townsend St. Transit density, requirements for recycling and water efficiency, and incentives from SF Energy Watch and PG&E, all contribute to a revolution in both commercial and government-managed facilities in The City.
Learn how San Francisco is nurturing and pushing a resource efficient, healthy, and cost-effective built environment. The talk will feature the results of Mayor Newsom’s Task Force on Existing Commercial Buildings, which charts the path to dramatic acceleration of energy efficiency investment and improvements through an integrated strategy of financing, transparency, education, and civic leadership.
