LOS ANGELES, Calif. (January 9, 2015) – On January 27 ULI Los Angeles, a District Council of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), presents FutureBuild 2015, an interactive event with the top thinkers and innovators in business and government. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has been invited to give the lunch keynote. In partnership with VerdeXchange, FutureBuild Power Shift explores how changes in energy technology – and the scarcity of resources – are remaking places – from building systems, to codes and regulations, to parking.
“FutureBuild is where experts from all sectors share their visions for the next generation of infrastructure and development,” says FutureBuild Co-chair Silvia Saucedo. “And the unique partnership with VerdeXchange makes FutureBuild a stimulating encounter with the most influential local, state, national, and global private- and public-sector leaders.”
Among the trend-setting themes:
• The Internet of Things: The Intelligent Built Environment: New technology pin-points which energies are used and how to maximize efficiency.
• Small Places, Big Changes: How smaller commercial buildings are using efficiencies and economies of scale to dramatically reduce energy use.
• Robo Parking: The revolution in how we store and deliver cars.
• Alternative Energy Financing: Making buildings more profitable by investing in efficient energy.
• The Future of Hospitality: Sustainability as a corporate strategy, with millennials a major target.
• Cracking the Codes: New energy codes are here now. What will development look like in 2020?
