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 […]
Hear the latest on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Envelope Campaign including success stories from partners in the K-12 and healthcare sectors. Presenters will highlight practices and technologies that can be utilized to improve building envelope performance and save energy. Speakers: Anthony Aldykiewicz, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Rick Dunn, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance; Kevin […]
This webinar will cover the latest in lighting technology including human-centric lighting and germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) disinfection technology. A lighting retrofit case study in which significant energy savings were achieved will also be shared. Speakers: Scott Jenkins, Planled; Gabe Arnold, PNNL Moderator: Kurt Nielsen, Illuminating Engineering Society
This 2-hour webinar will summarize the “alterations” requirements of the Seattle and Washington state energy codes and offer suggestions for potential design solutions.
The June 13th webinar will cover electrical, lighting, and renewable energy provisions of the 2021 Seattle and Washington state energy codes for commercial and multifamily buildings.
We need to perform roughly 3.5 million deep energy retrofits per year to reach net zero emissions by 2050. People who deliver retrofits say it’s time for a reality check on what it takes to do the work. Facility managers are busy. Retrofits are costly and financing can be hard to find. Contractors need training […]
Start getting prepared for this new requirement! BEPS applies to existing nonresidential and multifamily buildings greater than 20,000 square feet and sets carbon emissions targets that buildings must meet over time to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Compliance starts with benchmarking data verification and emissions reporting requirements due starting in 2027 to encourage planning and […]
