Is integrated energy our next climate hero? How connecting buildings, fleets and grids can fuel the future

Cara Carmichael, a former RMI buildings expert temporarily assigned to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, will be speaking in the official Climate Week programming with other experts on integrated energy. Solar is now the cheapest electricity, battery prices have dropped by over 80% in the last two decades, and electric vehicles are disrupting the utility sector. But connecting these solutions together across buildings, fleets and grids can deliver climate and commercial benefits that far exceed anything done in isolation. This session will challenge and inspire industry professionals, policymakers, and green power enthusiasts to take a systems-thinking approach to transform our energy systems at scale.
