One of the primary authors, Sergej Mahnofvski formerly of NYC OLTPS, will lead the event with a presentation of the detailed findings of the study, followed by an in-depth discussion with Anish Melwani, Director at McKinsey & Co., and Jeff Perlman, Founder of Bright Power. The report includes specific recommendations for the most effective energy conservation measures in the building sector and outlines the continued need for education and technical assistance within the design, construction and real estate communities.
