About this Event

Join JC White Architectural Interior Products and Yorkshore Flooring for a dynamic Pickleball Social and CEU event!

Kick off the morning with the CEU, "Success in Achieving Carbon Neutrality: Addressing Climate Change in Product Manufacturing" by Chris Lee - American Biltrite Flooring, where you'll gain valuable insights into sustainable practices and the journey toward carbon neutrality in manufacturing.

Success in Achieving Carbon Neutrality: Addressing Climate Change in Product Manufacturing

Course Description:
Protecting the earth and addressing climate change is the responsibility of everyone. Individuals, organizations, governments, and businesses are currently striving to figure out how they can do their part to reduce global warming potential through the reduction of CO2 emissions, produce low embodied carbon products, and conserve energy and resources to minimize their carbon footprint. Carbon neutrality has been established as a goal for businesses and governments alike – as more requirements and regulations are being established to reach “Net Zero” by prescribed dates. Through the lens of life cycle assessment and related impacts, the entire manufacturing process of products, including transparency about materials and supply chain, are key in addressing carbon impacts. This educational program shall provide commonly defined terms used to better understand carbon in relation to global warming potential, the right questions to ask about how carbon neutrality is achieved, an example of achieving carbon neutrality for a product, and the application of carbon neutral products and criteria for Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes and USGBC’s LEED® v4.1 BD+C and ID+C.

Following the CEU, enjoy a lively pickleball experience with Pickleball Clinics and open play on our courts. This event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers in the Interior Design and Architecture community while balancing education with a bit of fun and fitness.

This event also proudly supports Camp Fiesta, a local organization that provides an unforgettable summer camp experience for young cancer patients and survivors, ages 7-17. Located at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Camp Fiesta is affectionately known as "The Greatest Camp in the History of the World," where campers join a very special family and create lifelong memories.
