SUMMARY:10:30am - Concrete Carbon Solutions
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Concrete Carbon Solutions[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]The top 50 architecture\, engineering\, construction (AEC) firms\, and other key professionals responsible for well over one trillion dollars of global annual construction have rallied around establishing building sector emissions targets to meet the Paris Agreement. The embodied carbon emissions of construction products represent a significant portion of emissions and unlike operational carbon emissions these emissions are locked in place as soon as a building is built. However\, measuring the impacts of buildings\, assemblies and products can be complex. Every design decision from product selection to envelope design and construction can have an impact on the environment throughout the project’s service life. Now we have the ability to adopt a holistic life cycle perspective to provide solutions that minimize the carbon impacts while ensuring resilience to natural hazards.\nThis session will review the growing number of legislation and regulations to reduce carbon emissions of the concrete industry; how the industry demonstrates success through innovative tools and metrics; and how manufacturing methods and research are enhancing concrete products to meet the challenges of climate adaption.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:9:00 am - The River That Made Seattle
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]The River That Made Seattle[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]Once teeming with bountiful salmon and fertile plains\, Seattle’s Duwamish River drew both Native peoples and settlers to its shores over centuries for trading\, transport\, and sustenance. Unfortunately\, the very utility of the river was its undoing\, as decades of dumping led to the river being declared a Superfund cleanup site. \nMuch of Washington’s history has been told through the perspective of its colonizers\, obscuring and mythologizing the changes to these lands that have long been occupied by Native peoples. Through the story of the river\, author BJ Cummings explores previously unrecorded Native and immigrant histories\, and exposes settler falsehoods about the founding of the state. The river’s story is a call to action to align future decisions with values of collaboration\, respect\, and justice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
