We talk operational carbon, embodied carbon, and refrigerants, why energy modeling matters, how to start with utility data, and why lease language can block building upgrades. Kristy also shares lessons from her Rebuild 2024 talk and the industry effort behind MEP 2040.What you’ll learn:Why decarbonization doesn’t always cost more—and often saves over timeThe “three carbons”: operational, embodied, refrigerants (and how they map to scope 1–3)How to use utility bills, work orders, and simple data to find quick winsWhere energy modeling helps owners make better decisionsWhy green leases matter for big buildings and portfoliosSetting goals early—and holding the team to themGuest: Kristy Walson — Principal at Branch Pattern, LEED Fellow; focuses on energy modeling, net-zero strategy, and whole-life carbon. Host: Marcus Hazelwood, CEM — Principal at EA Energy Solutions; host of Clear Haze Exchange.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WIAyqvhIWaQZ-70pmb3ZoLgAWA4dIevFxMvJfRLg2pE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNjVj/YTY0ZGExMTUxN2U5/NjVkM2EzMmRjZDYx/NjkxOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
