SUMMARY:Financing Under Pressure: How to Fund High-Performance Buildings in a Constrained Capital Market
DESCRIPTION:An exclusive network opportunity during DC Climate Week 2026 \n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n​​As part of DC Climate Week 2026\, the Building Innovation Hub and the Montgomery County Green Bank will convene a select group of industry leaders for an invite-only discussion on one of the most pressing challenges facing the built environment today: how to finance high-performance buildings in a constrained capital market. \n“Financing Under Pressure: How to Fund High-Performance Buildings in a Constrained Capital Market” will convene senior leaders from across the capital stack—including Green Banks\, CDFIs\, conventional banks\, nonprofit institutions\, and mission-aligned capital providers—for a candid conversation on the evolving financing landscape. \nWith persistently high interest rates\, tighter capital markets\, and increasingly negative rhetoric around sustainability coming out of Washington\, the discussion will explore how the market continues to advance building decarbonization. Panelists will examine the growing role of blended finance\, innovative capital structures\, and cross-sector partnerships in unlocking projects that otherwise struggle to pencil in today’s environment. \nThe panel will take place at the Daikin Sustainability and Innovation Center\, a remarkable venue located just steps from the White House\, offering sweeping views of Washington\, DC. The setting provides a fitting backdrop for a candid\, forward-looking discussion about the future of climate finance. \nParticipation in this discussion is limited to approximately 30 invited guests\, creating an intimate environment for meaningful dialogue among decision-makers shaping the next generation of real estate finance and clean energy investment. \nAttendance is by invitation only. \nInterested participants are invited to submit a request via this link. Requests will be reviewed by the event hosts\, and confirmed participants will receive a follow-up confirmation. Capacity is limited to 30 people for the panel and tour. \n\n\n\n\n\n​This panel will be followed by a private tour of the Daikin Sustainability and Innovation Center (DSIC) at 5 pm and a rooftop reception from 5:30-7:30 pm. \n\n\n\nRSVP for the rooftop reception: https://luma.com/bg0ahtvt
