Envelope Issues in 2021 WA & Seattle Commercial Energy Codes
Thu, Jan 23 | 10am-11:30am | FREE | Online only

Overview of the envelope provisions in the 2021 Washington state and Seattle commercial energy codes, both now in effect, with emphasis on provisions that are new or that were changed from last year’s initial drafts. Cost-effective, code-compliant envelope case studies from recent local projects. Interaction of mechanical systems with envelope design, envelope-related C406 credits, air barrier testing requirements, rooftop solar installation, and more.

 

Save On Refrigeration – How to Optimize Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration
Tue, Jan 28 | 8:30am-10:30am | FREE | Hybrid option

Learn how to optimize refrigeration system operations to save money, improve efficiency and increase reliability with Todd Toburen, representing the BPA Energy Smart Industrial program. Seattle City Light will showcase available incentives that fund optimization and equipment upgrades for efficiency improvements. The focus will be on larger industrial systems but the content is also applicable to commercial refrigeration systems.

Cracking the Codes: The Present and Future of Northwest Energy Code

December 12 / 9-10 am PST

Nick O’Neil, PE, LEED, AP, Energy 350

Get to know the similarities and differences of the two primary commercial energy codes used as the basis for state energy codes in the Northwest—ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC. Along with an overview of current energy codes, webinar attendees will learn how codes will likely change in the future, and how the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance’s (NEEA) Market Transformation programs and initiatives can tie into future code provisions. Specific topics will include:

• The general process and timeline for updating energy codes
• Key differences between how states develop and utilize energy codes
• How NEEA is involved in energy code development in the Northwest and elsewhere

With rising fuel and energy costs, day-to-day attention to energy usage is needed now more than ever. Join this webinar to hear from two award-winning school districts:

• Pinellas County Schools will show how adding an Energy Use Intensity-based (EUI-based) Incentive Program has helped them take control of their energy usage, improve program participation across local schools, and reward efforts made at each site. They will discuss how to design participation classes, how to select a target EUI, and the appropriation of funds.
• Gresham-Barlow School District will give an overview of its Advanced Energy Management (AEM) Energy Champions program. This innovative program employs local high-school students in a paid internship in which they actively support the AEM Shutdown with ENERGY STAR program, an audit-based program for commercial buildings that identifies when to power down non-essential equipment after hours, cutting energy waste.

Speakers:

• Clint Herbic, Chief Operations Officer, Pinellas County Schools (Florida)
• Terry Taylor, Director of Facilities, Gresham-Barlow School District (Oregon)

 

The Seattle Clean Buildings Accelerator will hold a webinar specifically for multifamily buildings who need to comply with the city and state emissions and energy building standards.

Did you know that multifamily buildings larger than 20,000 square feet will need to comply with the Seattle Building Emissions Performance Standard (Seattle BEPS) and Washington Clean Buildings Performance Standard (WA CBPS)?

Join this webinar to learn more about:

• Multifamily requirements and timeline for Seattle BEPS and WA CBPS
• Energy and emissions benchmarking
• Buildings emissions basics
• Tenant engagement
• Funding and incentives
