Webinar: Submetering in Municipal & Higher Education Buildings

February 2, 2023

Many building operations professionals across Washington state are busy developing strategies for meeting compliance with the Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS). Municipal and higher education buildings are two sectors that often share a unique challenge: calculating energy use intensity (EUI) in separate buildings that are metered together as part of a campus.

In partnership with Puget Sound Energy, the Smart Buildings Center brings you an engaging information session and panel discussion exploring the challenges and potential solutions in submetering as required when taking the EUI target (EUIt) path to compliance with CBPS. In this webinar, we’ll briefly discuss the EUIt path requirements and a technical overview of the submetering options available to meet compliance. O&M professionals in the field will share their on-the-ground experience with overcoming challenges and their strategies for moving forward to achieve compliance. Attendees will come away with practical resources for implementing submetering in their own facilities and will learn how utility incentive programs such as Strategic Energy Management (SEM) can help with implementing energy efficiency programs to help streamline the compliance process.

Register in advance for this webinar

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
