SUMMARY:SBC Executive Forum: Building Electrification & Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings
DESCRIPTION: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 buildings – new and existing. During the Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) 2021 virtual conference\, two technical sessions on grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) highlighted the potential values of deploying dynamic two-way communication capacity in buildings to both the electric utility system and building owners and managers. This two-way communication can automate load shifting\, shedding\, and modulating and improve a utility’s capacity\, resiliency\, and cost. Building on the SBX 2021 conversations\, this two-part Executive Forum discussion will link the efforts around BE to successful widespread deployment of GEBs.

Register today using the link below. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar. \nRegister now!\n  \nFeatured Speakers \nChuck Murray\, Senior Energy Policy Specialist\nWashington State Department of Commerce\, State Energy Office\nChuck Murray has served the State of Washington for 29 years\, providing original field research\, project implementation and policy development in the energy efficiency field. Policy development has resulted in state legislation requiring incremental improvements in energy codes stringency\, mandatory building energy benchmarking and a first-in-nation existing building efficiency standard. Chuck also helped the Governor’s office craft the EV charging infrastructure legislation included in the building code. Chuck supports development state capital funding for energy efficiency programs\, including net zero low-income housing. \nAndrea Pratt\, Climate & Transportation Policy Advisor\nDrive Clean Seattle Program\, City of Seattle\nAndrea Pratt has worked at the City of Seattle since 2011. In 2014\, she authored the City’s Green Fleet Action Plan and managed a successful transition to biodiesel (B20) for over 1\,000 fleet vehicles in 2015. Andrea was a lead developer of the Drive Clean Seattle initiative in 2016\, which calls for a 50% reduction in fleet emissions by 2025. To that end\, she is expanding alternative fuel use including biodiesel and renewable diesel blends\, deploying green technology fleet wide and electrifying light-duty vehicles. Andrea manages EV infrastructure expansion\, aiming to install over 400 charging stations at dozens of fleet locations\, and spearheads green fleet policy and procurement efforts. \nKathleen Petrie\, Green Code Specialist\nSustainable Cities\, King County\nKathleen Petrie has worked with King County since 2017\, where she leads development of the Green Building portion of King County’s 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across King County. Kathleen developed zoning\, energy and building codes administered by the Permitting Department in close alignment with King County’s 2015 Strategic Climate Action Plan. She helped King County achieve a nationally recognized honor for removing barriers to installing solar energy technologies. When she worked with the City of Seattle\, Kathleen founded the Regional Code Collaboration\, a collection of jurisdictions from the Puget Sound region sharing expertise and resources to develop building codes and policies that address material\, water\, energy conservation and sustainable transportation.

SUMMARY:Making Electricity Demand Manageable in the Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The CTA-2045 Standard and Flexible Demand \nJuly 1\, 9:30 – 11:00am PST \nPresented by the NW Energy Coalition \nGrid-integratable water heaters and other interactive appliances and systems are the leading edge of a coming wave of customer-side resources that will increase energy system efficiency by enabling utilities to manage and shape electricity demand to a degree never before imagined. Combined with enhanced demand response capabilities\, improved energy efficiency\, and expanding distributed resources\, grid-integratable systems and appliances will play a vital role in transitioning the Northwest to an emissions-free electric system. \nThe webinar will explore key questions surrounding the rise of customer-side resources: \n\nHow can customer-side resources be engaged to optimally shape demand?\nHow large a role can customer-side resources play in meeting adequacy needs?\nWhat technological\, business\, and legal barriers stand in the way and how can we overcome them?\n\nAnd\, most importantly\, how can we bring customer-side resources to scale? These and other issues will be addressed by a panel of experts who have pioneered recent CTA-2045 pilot programs. \nThe discussion will be moderated by NW Energy Coalition Senior Policy Analyst\, Fred Heutte. Join Fred and the panel on Wednesday\, July 1 from 9:30 to 11:00am PST by registering below: \nRegister

SUMMARY:Use microtargeting techniques to achieve your energy-efficiency goals
DESCRIPTION:As a result of COVID-19\, energy utilities and implementers face uncertainty and risk about whether they can achieve their 2020 demand-side management (DSM) savings targets. They’re also facing the added challenge of offering programs that are safe for customers and employees. There’s been debate about the future of energy-efficiency programs\, but T&D World\, an online transmission and distribution (T&D) resource for utilities\, thinks the pandemic will create new opportunities. In the article COVID-19 Will Create Energy Efficiency Opportunities\, T&D World’s grid optimization editor David Shadle recognizes that in-home and workplace programs have been stalled but thinks they could take on greater importance in the coming months and years. \nTo make sure your upcoming DSM programs are successful\, you’ll need to resegment your residential customers. A lot of your customers are experiencing unemployment because of the pandemic\, so you’ll see a larger pool of low-income candidates\, and some have been able to work from home and save money from doing so. COVID-19 has shaken up your customers; they don’t look the same as they did six months ago. It’s a good time for you to resegment your residential customer base and get the right programs and messaging to the right people. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nDevelop a plan for your postpandemic activities to achieve the most energy savings\nUse data to better connect with your customers\nMaximize marketing and outreach budgets within energy-efficiency programs\nUse microtargeting to identify and cross-promote other energy-efficiency programs\n\nE Source has partnered with Claritas to quickly and cost-effectively deliver information about your customers and programs. Within four weeks of working with us\, we’ll give you customer data that you can immediately use to target the right customers with. \nSpeakers: \nCindy Schweitzer\, Vice President\, Customer Solutions\, E Source\nRachel Cooper Director\, Market Research\, E Source\nChad Garrett\, Managing Director\, Consulting and Advisory Services\, E Source \nWho should attend: \nAny energy industry professional who’s tasked with achieving DSM savings targets. \nFor more information about attending this event\, please email us or call 1-800-ESOURCE (1-800-376-8723).
