Energy Management Plan (EMP) and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Plan requirements for Washington Stateโ€™s Clean Buildings Performance Standard is the focus of this 1 ยฝ hour no-cost webinar, sponsored by Washington State University Energy Program.

While EUIs, EUI targets, and benchmarking have rightfully been getting a lot of attention, documentation requirements for your EMP and O&M program are a significant part of Clean Buildings and worth starting sooner than later. Recognizing the need for EMP and O&M Program templates, ArchEcology, a green building consulting firm based in Seattle, created a template and guidance for building operators and property managers. Katherine Morgan, Principal at ArchEcology and a BOC instructor, will provide an introductory training to their free template package, to help support the collective effort to improve energy and emissions performance across the state.

In addition to the presentation, we will open the webinar up to discussion to hear from attendees about concerns as well as successes in dealing with the EMP and O&M requirements.

RCMs, energy managers, and similar staff from Washington state public and government institutions and agencies are the intended audience. Others may attend if space allows.

Washington State University Energy Program promotes and supports RCM programs with technical assistance, hiring and job description information, monthly newsletters, website, and more.

This free webinar from Washington State University Energy Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy State Energy Program through the Washington State Department of Commerce Energy Division.

Feb 14 – SBC and Aeroseal Present: Exhaust Ventilation System Energy Conservation Measures for Savings

February 8, 2024 By SBC staff

Join the Smart Buildings Center and Aeroseal for a free 1-hour webinar on Exhaust Ventilation System Energy Conservation Measures for Savings on February 14th at 11 am PT/2 pm ET!

Webinar description: Exhaust ventilation systems in commercial & large multifamily buildings are a vital building system with significant energy, sustainability and occupant health & safety implications. Recent code requirements place increased emphasis on getting them right in both new construction and retrofit projects. This session explores how these systems work, as well as some scenarios where they donโ€™t work. It explores where to find these projects and how to integrate them into an overall โ€œairsideโ€ energy and building performance project.

Learning objectives

After completing the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Explain how exhaust ventilation systems really work in the field and the factors that contribute to their role in a successful project.
  • Identify good candidates for retrofit and the โ€œpain pointsโ€ that motivate action for building owners and operators.
  • Explore the components in an overall solution that will achieve desired energy and building performance results.

Speaker: Thomas Holmes, Aeroseal
