Efrie Escott shows how decarbonization, AI, and systems thinking are reshaping the entire built environment — fast. 🤗 Meet Your Fellow Sustainability Champion Efrie Escott is the Decarbonization Technical Program Leader at Schneider Electric, promoting strategies to accelerate the transition to a regenerative built environment. As an architect and LCA practitioner, Efrie previously led sustainability efforts as a Principal of Environmental Research within the Kieran Timberlake Research Group, where she was a core member of the development team for Tally, an award-winning BIM-integrated life cycle assessment tool. She was a member of the USGBC Materials + Resources and the ILFI Energy + Carbon Technical Advisory Groups, AIA Committee on Climate Action and Design Excellence, founder of Philadelphia's Dynamo User Group, and Co-Chair for AIA Philadelphia Women in Architecture. She currently chairs the Embodied Carbon chapter for ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240p and serves on the ILFI's Board of Directors. Efrie's research has been published in several peer-reviewed, internationally-recognized journals. She lectures internationally and teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. 🌱 Breaking Ground on Better Building In this episode, Efrie Escott challenges the status quo of green building by zooming out — from individual projects to entire systems: ⭐️ Key Insight #1: Decarbonization isn't a buzzword — it's a systems-level mandate. The Challenge: Buildings are optimized individually, ignoring grid instability, climate risk, and community impact. The Solution: Shift from single-building thinking to interconnected systems — where buildings, grids,…","meta_description":"📕 The Green Impact Report Quick take: If you care about scaling sustainability beyond one building at a time, this episode is a Masterclass.
