Mr. Surace, a noted speaker and writer on climate change and the
built environment, is on a mission to significantly reduce the use of
fossil fuels and their effect on the environment. As CEO of Serious
Materials, Kevin leads the company in its mission to reduce energy usage
and CO2 generation of the world's largest contributor, our buildings.
By developing new materials and processes that require little energy to
manufacture, and advanced products which dramatically improve the
insulation and comfort of homes and offices, a worst-case climate and
energy catastrophe can be avoided.
