FM Symposium
Beyond Net-neutral Buildings – The Net Positive
Wednesday, April 27 | Noon – 1:30 p.m.
Until recently, buildings with positive impact was a foreign concept to most developers and operators — strategies were focused on minimizing negative impacts, rather than concentrating on actions that create positive outcomes.
Net-positive buildings transcend neutrality – they give back more than they take, providing regenerative social and environmental impacts.
This year’s FM Symposium unites a panel of global innovators to discuss the game-changing ideas and principles surrounding net-positive buildings. Going beyond the new normal requires businesses to reinvent themselves, generating positive change for people and planet. Better understand what’s necessary for you to lead your organization to a net-positive future.
