Certainly, increasing building electrification (BE) is a critical step toward decarbonization of the built environment. The specific steps to achieve BE are somewhat less certain. Replacing carbon-emitting fossil fuel appliances […]
Certainly, increasing building electrification (BE) is a critical step toward decarbonization of the built environment. The specific steps to achieve BE are somewhat less certain. Replacing carbon-emitting fossil fuel appliances with clean electric sources is the easy answer, but as usual there are lots of complexities in making this happen in both commercial and residential […]
Description This training will provide an introduction to the Washington State Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS) and highlight tools and resources available to installers, vendors, and building operators to assist building owners with energy efficiency improvements that may be required for standard compliance. Presenter’s bio Rebecca Sheppard is a Senior Project Manager at the Northwest […]
K-12 school superintendents and facility staff face many challenges to operating their buildings efficiently and effectively. Common challenges include funding and staffing issues. Deferred maintenance, antiquated systems, or even poorly operating modern systems can have a direct impact on learning outcomes. Retro-commissioning (RCx) is a process that optimizes building system performance by defining current operating […]
