ULI Net Zero Imperative Charlotte: A Roadmap to Net Zero for New Commercial Buildings
Engaging developers with community resources, incentives, and the business case for net zero new commercial development.
The goal of this Technical Assistance Panel was to identify ways to encourage developers to create a net zero road map for new commercial development. The panel used city, state, federal and utility programs to provide examples of programs successfully implemented in other jurisdictions. The following guiding questions were used:
- What are some community resources and programs for implementation of net zero initiatives in commercial development?
- What additional financial and/or regulatory incentives can be offered to achieve net zero implementation in commercial buildings?
- What is the business case for net zero in commercial development, considering monetary and non-monetary benefits to development?
ULI has continued to be a partner in decarbonization endeavors. The ULI Net Zero Imperative (NZI) is a multi-year initiative to accelerate decarbonization in the built environment. A significant aspect of ULI’s work is to advance its net zero mission priority. The program is designed to help building owners, cities, and other relevant constituents reduce carbon emissions. The ULI Net Zero Imperative is a growing, collaborative network of District and National Councils, including ULI staff, local governments, real estate leaders, and community stakeholder groups.
