The AEC Industry is in the Driver's Seat: Strategies to reduce waste & carbon emissions
Thursday, January 27th, 2022
1pm - 2pm ET (10am - 11am PT)
Description
Join us for a discussion with Schott Design, a leading Commercial Interior Design firm in Indianapolis, and learn about the successes and challenges surrounding the creation of their subsidiary, schottXchange, which is solely committed to reducing waste and carbon emissions in the built environment. schottXchange was founded as a commercial reuse exchange platform indented to keep building materials in use, and has evolved into a platform for education & advocacy for redesign, an innovator for circular design processes, and a technical resource to landlords and building owners by providing key sustainability metric tracking. Schott believes design firms are uniquely positioned to drive change in the climate crisis and will share their best practices to help guide and inspire others to create circular design economies in their own local markets.
