Find out why the IRA and the IIJA should have you thinking green about public building projects. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the National League of Cities (NLC) co-host this webinar exploring the new federal incentives and programs available for public building projects. From direct pay tax incentives for improved building efficiency to wide-ranging grant opportunities for facilities improvements, the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act are loaded with programs that building professionals and local governments can take advantage of as they plan to build new facilities or renovate existing buildings. The webinar is open to USGBC and NLC members.
This presentation will summarize he bill’s provisions related to climate change and offer specific details related to solar and energy efficiency. New and renewed incentives are included to expand clean energy production for residential, commercial, industrial and utility scale solar through 2034, enabling a predictable set of financial incentives to exponentially increase our domestic clean energy supply, dramatically reducing our carbon emissions.
Join our friends at AIA-St. Louis Committee on the Environment for the third of five sessions in this Materials Certificate program. Learn more or register. And stay tuned for a joint program between Missouri Gateway GBC & AIA-St. Louis COTE in March 2023!

This Tiny House Project is currently under construction in the Benton Park West neighborhood in the City of St. Louis. It is planned to be an environmentally regenerative and one-of-a-kind project. It's being build on what was once a vacant lot, purchased through the St. Louis City Land Revitalization Authority (LRA). This livable home will use energy saving building concepts such as radiant heating, solar power collection, rainwater collection, and passive heating and cooling concepts. The building itself, inspired by the work of Bob Cassilly, will be created from mostly reclaimed materials. The style will be a unique expression that keeps the historic aesthetic of the neighborhood in mind. Building a 420 square foot house on a 7,000 square foot lot allows space for large permaculture and vegetable gardens.
