Reimagine Buildings: Biomaterials

Co-Produced with RMI
How can we create healthy, resilient buildings that sequester and store carbon?

Join us for Reimagine Buildings: Biomaterials

Online, December 6, 2024, 11:30am – 4:00pm (Eastern)

Join us for Reimagine Buildings: Biomaterials, the online conference that explores how to create healthy, resilient buildings that sequester and store carbon. We'll share the best biomaterials solutions and how you can apply them in your projects today.

LEARN. Pioneers of biomaterials and biomaterial construction will share the top carbon-storing solutions to implement in your work. Learn why biomaterials can be a powerful climate solution and see how they are being applied in the field to create healthy, climate-positive buildings.

CONNECT. Meet other building professionals who are stepping up to tackle change and engage in participatory sessions as you build the network you need to succeed.

GET INSPIRED. Join the growing movement to not only slash the upfront carbon emissions of high performance buildings but to sequester and store carbon in the materials we use to construct them.

EARN CREDITS. RB Biomaterials program sessions will be eligible for AIA HSW Continuing Education credits in partnership with AIA New York State, as well as Phius and PHI credits. (Live attendance of sessions only.)

Enjoy all of this from the comfort of your home, shop, or office.

Reimagine Buildings: Biomaterials is a joint effort between RMI's HomebuildersCAN and Passive House Accelerator.

Noon – 1:00pm (Eastern) | HOUR 1: Biomaterials

We dive into biomaterials, carbon storage, climate science, and the role building materials can play in carbon sequestration.

1:00pm – 2:00pm (Eastern) | HOUR 2: Carbon Storage

We explore products with carbon storing qualities—what's out there now and what's coming, in the categories of concrete, cladding, insulation, and flooring.

2:00pm – 3:00pm (Eastern) | HOUR 3: Building Case Studies

We learn from built case studies—how are biomaterials making an impact in the real world and what lessons can practitioners take from these early projects?

3:00pm – 4:00pm (Eastern) | Biomaterials Roundtable

We consider the question, "what do we need to do to speed this along?"
