Carbon dioxide (CO2) regulation proposed in the U.S. house and Senate and by the EPA may greatly affect commercial businesses and building owners.
According to the Department of Energy, the average U.S. commercial building emits up to 15 lbs/sq.ft of CO2 directly, and even more CO2 emissions are attributable to building energy use. Demand for energy is expected to grow - and with it, CO2 emissions from commercial buildings are projected to grow faster than any other sector. CO2 regulation proposed in the U.S. House and Senate and by the EPA may affect commercial and industry building owners. This seminar will spotlight risks and opportunities for commercial businesses and real estate owners and investors associated with carbon policies and regulation.

• The Drivers Behind Climate Change Risks and Opportunities - Susan Bodine, Partner, Barnes & Thornburg LLP, and formerly Assistant Administrator of EPA’s Office of Solid Waste & Emergency Response.
