An interview with Kurt Yeghian, Founder and CEO of Existing Conditions.

The time is fast approaching for the BSA's second annual Wagdy Anis Symposium on Building Science. Ahead of the event, the BSA asked speakers to share their thoughts on the future of building science, their memories of Anis, and what they're most anticipating about the two-day symposium.

We cannot meet our climate goals without utilizing our greatest built and cultural assets: existing buildings. With many cities aiming to become carbon-free by 2050—and, in Boston, with 85 percent of the floorspace the city will need already built—we must embrace existing buildings as critical to climate action. Throughout the summer, the BSA community explored approaches to existing buildings as climate solutions, and underscored the urgency with which we need to develop and share strategies in order to respond to our climate crisis. Check out conversations on a variety of project types, find strategies and solutions for your work, and share with your colleagues and clients!

Candidates in Boston's upcoming mayoral race are set to participate in a virtual forum hosted by the BSA and moderated by GBH News reporter Liz Neissloss. The forum will take place on Monday, August 30 from 1:00–2:00 PM.
