Trends and challenges
Furthering industrywide dialogue on the trends and challenges facing the commercial building sector
Furthering industrywide dialogue on the trends and challenges facing the commercial building sector, the comprehensive report offers insights and partnerships essential to fostering resilient communities and achieving decarbonization.

2050 net-zero targets
“With 2050 net-zero targets in sight, this year marks an important turning point for decarbonization. Large commercial buildings, which account for 60% of a city’s emissions on average, play a critical role in this journey,” said Susan O'Grady, senior director of marketing for commercial buildings services, Xylem.
"Developed through extensive collaboration and research, our new report brings together industry thought pioneers to highlight solutions and emerging trends that can guide us toward decarbonization goals."
Discussions on net-zero topics
O'Grady added: "It serves as a call to action for everyone in the built environment, emphasizing the need for education and innovation to address today’s challenges and build a better future.”
In addition to debuting the Blueprint for Net Zero report, Xylem will host a variety of in-booth activations, including panel discussions on data centers and net-zero topics, offering deeper insights into the report's findings and Xylem’s focus on the buildings of the future:
