Join us to hear from three ENERGY STAR partners who have installed LED lighting and realized savings. Bimbo Bakeries will discuss their journey towards installing LED lighting in 80% of their bakeries\, with LED lighting installations planned for the remainder of the bakeries by 2020. The savings from lighting alone account for at least 15% of their electrical consumption. Food Lion will share how they completed a rollout of LED sales floor lighting by upgrading 163 stores. The savings from the 2019 installs is over 40.6 billion BTUs. Ozinga Bros\, Inc will discuss the lighting retrofits of five maintenance shops with LEDs. The combined projects will save $5\,500 per year\, and they were able to receive nearly $4\,000 in utility rebates. In addition to better energy efficiency\, the new lights make their shops brighter and safer. \nSpeakers: \n\nLeslie Adebayo\, Corporate Sustainability Manager\, Bimbo Bakeries\nSean Shropshire\, Specialist Energy Engineer\, Food Lion\nNathan Onchuck\, Energy Manager\, Ozinga Bros

SUMMARY:Your Next Steps—Calculating Your Water Impacts
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Seattle 2030 District\, Earth Economics developed a Water Reuse Calculator to help property owners in the Seattle area make the economic case for investing in rainwater and greywater capture and reuse systems. \nThese systems can be utilized to improve the water performance of a building\, reduce stormwater runoff and lower associated drainage charges\, and be a vital strategy to achieve the 2030 Challenge Pilot and Living Building Pilot Challenges. Check out the tool here: https://www.eartheconomics.org/waterreuse-calculator \nILFI’s new study on utility rates helps to meet the 2030 District goals as well. ILFI will share recent research on the use of potable water focusing on the opportunities available specifically to residential buildings in Seattle\, and demonstrates that many off-the-shelf systems are now available at a cost that is recoverable within a reasonable timeframe\, making water-saving retrofits and new construction more financially viable.

SUMMARY:Virtual Smart Buildings Week
DESCRIPTION:In place of the planned in-person Smart Buildings Exchange 2020 event\, we are hosting a free Virtual Smart Buildings Week September 14th-17th\, 2020. Each day during the lunch hour\, a virtual session crafted from key topics and speaker commitments for our planned in-person event will feature a lively and interactive panel discussion as outlined below. Registration for the first three virtual sessions on September 14th\, 15th and 16th is now open and details for a fourth session on September 17th will be announced soon. These one-hour sessions each qualify for 1 Building Operator Certification (BOC) credential maintenance point and 0.10 IACET CEUs towards the renewal of industry certifications\, certificates and licenses including but not limited to AIA\, PE\, LEED\, IFMA\, ASHRAE\, and AEE. \nSmart Buildings: Using Data and Analytics to Improve Performance\nSeptember 14th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nThis session brings together two leading local smart service providers and two facility directors who have real world experience bringing smart solutions to their buildings. Designing for optimal performance is no guarantee that it will happen. The ability to acquire system performance data is no guarantee that the data will trigger operational improvements. In these two case studies\, buildings that should have been “top of their game” needed a new approach.

This transformation is already underway leading to improved organizational productivity\, better space utilization\, and more efficient and healthier buildings. To make this transformation successful\, it’s important to both understand the technology and practices as well as the cross-organizational nature of adopting smart projects. Microsoft has keen insight here based on its own adoption of smart technologies at their buildings as well as through close working relationships with its partner ecosystem. Microsoft will share a number of key considerations that can help building owners and operators make a successful transformation to buildings that are more agile\, flexible\, efficient\, and productive. \nRegister now for these engaging virtual panel discussions during Smart Buildings Week!

SUMMARY:Promoting Energy Efficient Lighting Systems
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been involved in a project where the new LED fixtures have been value engineered out and replaced by retrofit kits\, TLEDs\, fluorescent technology\, or disregarded from the project altogether? \nHas your Networked Lighting Control (NLC) system design been downscaled to a simple wallbox solution? \nAll too often\, new construction and renovation projects undergo value engineering which can lower up-front costs and make the project seem more approachable. Unfortunately\, this practice frequently leads to overspending in post-installation support\, not meeting stakeholder expectations\, decreasing quality\, and significant energy savings and non-energy benefits value being left on the table. \nWhile industry actors have made significant investments in outreach\, education\, and incentive programs to promote appropriate design adoption\, significant barriers still exist. This class will delve into these barriers as well as provide a set of tools\, techniques\, to help Lighting Practitioners ensure the most appropriate design highlighting quality and comfort is implemented in their projects. These tools and techniques will include: \n\nLighting Audit\nEfficient Financial Statements\nEnergy and non-Energy Benefits\nQualifying Questions\nUse Cases\nDesign Options with Estimates\nElevator Sales Pitch\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is suitable for lighting practitioners\, including designers\, contractors\, building operators\, architects\, engineers\, sales representatives\, as well as utility staff. \nLearning Goals \n\nEvaluate “good\, better\, best” approaches\, and how to navigate between them\nAnalyze energy savings and non-energy technological value that LEDs and NLCs can provide\nUnderstand techniques\, tools\, and resources on how to advance energy efficiency projects\nExplore use cases that highlight overspending resources post-completion\, and how appropriate design execution mitigates this risk

SUMMARY:Benefits of Energy and Domestic Water Submetering
DESCRIPTION:One of the top priorities of building owners and operators is the need for more efficient and accurate BTU metering. \nHaving good and reliable information can help reduce the amount of energy used\, by operating more efficiently. This can help reduce operational costs and recover revenue from inaccurate billing. \nSince the early 1980’s ultrasonic clamp-on Flow meters have been utilized for BTU metering and submetering. Some advantages of clamp-on meters are; retrofit capability—no shutdown required\, all in one BTU meter\, low flow sensitivity for measuring off peak flows\, and 1% accuracy. \nIn this presentation we will cover clamp-on BTU metering technology\, features\, accuracy\, and discuss the benefits of submetering in the energy industry.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Codes & Standards
DESCRIPTION:There can be a dizzying array of influences on any lighting project. Beyond design and budget constraints\, there are a wide range of codes and standards that will affect the ultimate selection of lighting fixtures and controls. \nThis class will look not only at current Energy Codes\, but will see how LEED\, Well Building\, NFPA\, IES and others\, all influence the lighting design process. When understood and used creatively these codes and standards can provide a framework toward an energy efficient and sustainable design. \nLearning Goals \nAt the end of the class\, participants will: \n\nIdentify the major aspects of Energy Code Lighting Power Allowances.\nKnow the key differences between interior and exterior spaces.\nIdentify the primary sections of the Energy Code Controls Requirements.\nUnderstand the Additional Energy Code Options.\nSee how other Codes\, Standards\, and Recommendations fit into a comprehensive design process.

SUMMARY:Audit & Retrofit Techniques
DESCRIPTION:The advent of LED lighting has caused a seismic shift in the lighting industry\, creating a renewed interest in how to best upgrade the lighting in existing buildings. One of the best places to start is to do an inventory of what your current lighting system is and what its strengths and weaknesses are. This will enable you to identify where to put most of your efforts. \nOnce the audit is evaluated\, it is time to start considering the most appropriate lighting options. Whether to retrofit\, replace\, or redesign are serious decisions to make\, and they will have implication on the costs\, energy savings\, and productivity of the resulting lighting system. No one approach is right for every project. If the project is dependent on utility participation\, there may be other factors to consider as well. \nAttendees of this class will gain access to the following tools to assist them on a variety of lighting upgrades projects. \n\nHow to evaluate your existing lighting system.\nKnowing what areas are most important to focus on.\nUnderstanding when to retrofit the existing fixtures\, and when they should be replaced.\nLearning the opportunities to add controls to the lighting project.\nHow to leverage utility incentives to maximize your savings.
