Advancing Construction Decarbonization Conference
Hanson Wade's annual conference in Denver exploring net-zero pathways, embodied carbon reduction, low-carbon materials, and AI-driven decarbonization strategies for the construction industry.
Definition
Advancing Construction Decarbonization is Hanson Wade's dedicated annual conference for construction sustainability and decarbonization leaders, held July 28-30, 2026 in Denver, Colorado. The conference addresses the construction industry's critical role in addressing climate change—buildings and construction account for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions—and practical pathways toward net-zero operations and deliverables. Programming covers: embodied carbon measurement and reduction strategies, low-carbon concrete and steel specifications, mass timber and bio-based material adoption, AI tools for carbon optimization and lifecycle assessment, supply chain decarbonization, ESG reporting requirements, and green building certification strategies. AI content is increasingly central as construction firms recognize that decarbonization goals require computational analysis of carbon trade-offs impossible with manual methods. The Denver location is deliberate—Colorado's leading-edge energy codes and significant clean energy investment create a context-rich environment. The 2027 edition is anticipated.
