The need for a climate-positive future has never been clearer. With the 2030 tipping point rapidly approaching, it's no longer enough to simply reduce a workplace's carbon emissions—we must actively measure and decarbonize. We analyzed and offset our emissions. Now, our National Sustainability Design Leader Daniel Jaconetti, AIA, LEED AP shares how we’re expanding our efforts with a deeper analysis for 2025 and beyond, working to offset our entire carbon footprint in Green Building and Design. https://bit.ly/3Xqpt9d #HEDAdvances #BuildingDesign #SustainableDesign #CarbonFootprint
