Learn how to make the business case for energy efficiency in data centers. This webinar will help participants identify key stakeholder interests, underlying drivers, and institutional and technical barriers that need to be considered and give attendees an overview of the technical concepts and relevant tools and resources involved. Attendees will also hear a real-world […]
Organizations of all shapes and sizes can benefit from better understanding their granular energy usage. Partners from both the public and private sectors will discuss how to persuade decision-makers and make the business case for the value of submetering; they will also share how to tie submetering to benchmarking and data management efforts for greater […]
Energy and water efficiency upgrades in public housing can free up operating funds while reducing tenant utility bills and improving resident health and comfort. However, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) face persistent financial barriers that often prevent them from accessing capital for retrofits. This webinar will present innovative solutions from three PHAs that successfully financed efficiency […]
This webinar will explore the impacts and success stories of commercial property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing, better known as CPACE, 10 years since the completion of the first CPACE project. Attendees will hear the story of CPACE’s growth and growing pains, learn about new research on prevailing practices for tracking impacts from CPACE programs, […]
Building off of the Better Buildings Accelerator of the same name, part two of the Sustainable Wastewater Infrastructure of the Future (SWIFt) Initiative brings wastewater facilities together with DOE experts to work towards both short-term and long-term energy savings. Attendees will learn about the types of technical assistance available through SWIFt 2.0, including energy data […]
Hear about pioneering developments that are integrating energy efficiency, waste heat, renewable energy, and grid interaction across multiple buildings. This webinar will explore best practices on achieving cost savings and carbon reductions at scale. Speakers: Brad Liljequist and Nick Edney, Catalyst project; Barb Frommell and Laura Rip, National Western Center project; Shanti Pless and Ben […]
Commercial real estate property owners are utilizing unique strategies to protect their assets against extreme weather events by evaluating building sites for resilience. This webinar will explore a variety of […]
As building owners and operators reflect on the pandemic, organizations are making plans to increase preparedness, improve resilience, and enact responsive building operations that can reduce energy and scale occupancy. […]
Building materials and construction represent 11% of global CO2 emissions. In this webinar, move from theoretical assessment and reduction to practice as panelists share real-world examples of tackling embodied carbon. […]
As more multifamily housing providers begin to develop decarbonization goals, it’s time for a conversation on strategies to break down barriers. During this webinar, take a deeper dive into the […]
Since 2015, Better Buildings and Better Plants partners have showcased how water management can reduce cost, energy, and environmental impact, saving more than 10 billion gallons. However, additional benefits can include more efficient operations, improved occupant health and wellness, and increased resiliency. Join partners from multiple sectors to learn how they've realized the many benefits […]
Join this webinar to hear about the benefits of HVAC controls for retail buildings, from a chain of country clubs and a retail skin care brand. Improved controls are proven to reduce energy waste by 10%-20% and improve occupant comfort. Presenters will share their approach to upgrading controls, the benefits they’ve experienced, and the lessons […]
On May 30th, 2-3pm EST (11-12 PST), the Space Conditioning team and guest speakers will present detailed examples of efficient large boiler systems in the field. We will talk about system components, performance, challenges, and successes. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, and we invite you to join the discussion. Register here!
Achieving the energy efficiency potential of advanced building systems has long required the use of controls. However, controls require data, as do other software applications that enable, for example, space utilization analytics or grid-responsiveness. The configuration of such applications - that is, the matching of data sources to software needs, has long been time and […]
