Education & Training - Smart Buildings Center

An interactive online building conference. Connect in conversation and develop the path to realize your goals.

Every Wednesday, June 24-July 29, 1:00 – 4:00 PM (EST)

What is this virtual event about?
Our global pandemic and climate emergency ask: How will you change? What will you choose to do? Passive House 2020 embraces these tough fundamental questions and provides you with actionable answers. You’ll get the framework for making system switches from best selling author Dan Heath. You’ll achieve clarity about the role of Passive House, in conversation with building developers who’ve done it. You’ll learn the inside story from industry leaders, including from Passive House Institute research scientists. And you’ll discover opportunities to leverage changing public policies, consumer awareness, and industry competence, to make built environments that support the business and life goals most meaningful to you. Join the conversation.

Join us at this live virtual co-creation event.
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 Learning Calendar and 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:

Energy efficiency
Demand response
Building operations
Benchmarking
Building tune-ups
Smart buildings technologies
Grid-enabled buildings

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.
