Participants from across the country will exchange ideas about opportunities to create change, discuss promising developments, and explore solutions through connection, learning and delving into alternative futures for chapters.
The Smart Buildings Center (SBC) is excited to announce the launch of our new Remote LearningĀ CalendarĀ andĀ Library. We are all adjusting to telecommuting and missing in person training and networking events, all the while still seeking to stay plugged into the latest in energy industry training and trends. Along with the initiative sponsor, Puget Sound Energy, we wanted to address this need by providing access to a clearinghouse for remote education and training opportunities. The calendar and resources are curated for commercial energy managers, trade allies, facility managers, and those with a general interest in energy efficiency and smart buildings technologies and provide details and links to upcoming live and previously recorded remote learning events covering a wide range of topics including:
To submit upcoming or previously recorded events for inclusion on the calendar or in the library, please use the links below. We hope you will find this to be a valuable resource that increases awareness of and access to industry remote learning events.
A special thank you to Puget Sound Energy for supporting the development of the Remote Learning Calendar and Library.
