SUMMARY:2026 Industrialized Housing Summit
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Industrialized Housing Summit tackles one central question:\nHow do we efficiently deliver high-quality housing at scale using industrialized construction on real projects\, under real constraints\, today?\nIHS is a working summit for the people responsible for commissioning\, financing\, manufacturing\, and delivering industrialized construction projects: owners\, developers\, manufacturers\, builders\, capital providers\, operators\, and public-sector leaders.\nThe summit is organized around six critical questions currently blocking industrialized construction at scale — from financing and factory utilization to procurement\, delivery certainty\, and operational integration. \nEach session is designed to help participants work through the real bottlenecks slowing deployment: cost\, risk\, coordination\, procurement\, and execution. \nThis is not a passive conference built around presentations. The focus is on helping participants make better deployment\, investment\, procurement\, and operating decisions.

SUMMARY:Getting to Zero Forum
DESCRIPTION:Carbon emissions from buildings are 39% of the problem. You are 100% of the solution.\nGetting to Zero aims to accelerate action by state and local governments and building industry professionals to create a clean energy future for the built environment. We envision a transformed built environment that is carbon-free\, sustainable\, and energy efficient and supports thriving economies that benefit all people and the planet . \nGetting to Zero amplifies the work of people and organizations that are accelerating and broadening efforts to deliver decarbonized buildings at scale\, and helping policymakers achieve ambitious climate commitments related to the built environment. Efforts cover both residential and commercial sectors for new and existing buildings and engages leading policy makers\, designers\, building owners\, systems manufacturers\, and commercial real estate professionals to overcome the remaining barriers to net zero buildings the norm. \nGetting to Zero Forum\nThe Getting to Zero Forum is the premier event dedicated to building decarbonization. With a growing number of climate emergencies across the United States and around the world\, there is no more important time than now for the Getting to Zero Forum. The event brings together the world’s leading experts to share best practice approaches to reducing energy demand and decarbonization related to policy\, program\, and projects. It is the only event with a broad cross-section of stakeholders focused on ambitious building efficiency goals and is an ideal venue for organizing both the policy and building communities to achieve zero carbon ambitions. Learn more and register for the next Forum. \n365 Education & Resources\nThe Getting to Zero platform provides ongoing opportunities for advanced learning\, knowledge sharing\, recognition to facilitate the development and dissemination of actionable solutions. We bolster market capability to deliver on building decarbonization goals by sparking collaborations\, supporting local action\, providing education\, and curating collections of resources including guides\, policy models\, studies\, and technical advice on how to achieve zero energy and carbon neutral goals. \nRead about the cutting edge design projects completed by our Leaders Circle members.\nConnect in your community with the Local Net Zero list of organizations working across the country.\nIncrease your knowledge of crucial industry topics with our Education Modules and our Webinar Series\nLearn about our workforce development initiative\, the Next Gen Professional Development program.\nAccess guides and tools in the Getting to Zero Resource Hub\nCheck out the Getting to Zero blog which features news\, industry thought leadership\, project spotlights\nAttend the Getting to Zero Forum\, the premier event dedicated to building decarbonization.
