SUMMARY:Tools for Modeling the 2018 SEC and WSEC
DESCRIPTION:This course highlights the energy modeling requirements for Seattle and Washington State 2018 energy code compliance as well as ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G – the new modeling standard. Seattle and Washington specific compliance tools have been developed by the DOE to help designers and reviewers apply the new standard. A brief demo of these tools will be provided to demonstrate the functionality and value of these resources. (We will not be teaching how to do energy modeling or how to use Appendix G.) \nLearning objectives \nAt the conclusion of this seminar\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand and apply the 2018 WSEC and SEC specific energy code requirements at a high level.\nUnderstand and apply the C407 modeling pathway\, and the new standard ASHRAE 90.1 – Appendix G at a high level.\nKnow what to expect for compliance tool workflow and functionality with the DOE Appendix G Compliance Tool\nUnderstand the benefits of using the compliance tool and how it can positively impact both building design and the energy code permit process.

SUMMARY:Meeting Water & Energy-Saving Goals in King County: Sustainable Energy Solutions & Innovative Financing Options
DESCRIPTION:The Northwest Energy Efficiency Council and Smart Buildings Center invite King County building owners\, managers\, financers\, and decision makers to attend and hear from King County and Seattle Public Utilities representatives about sustainable energy solutions and innovative financing options to help you meet your water and energy-saving goals. Webinar speakers and topics will include: \nMorgan Torres\, Executive Climate and Energy Program Manager – Office of the King County Executive\nKing County will share its new innovative financing program\, C-PACER\, explaining how it can be used to invest in efficiency and resiliency measures to make buildings safer\, more efficient\, and less expensive to operate. \nNatasha Bailey\, Commercial Water Conservation Program Manager – Saving Water Partnership\nThe Saving Water Partnership is an organization comprised of 19 water utilities in King and Snohomish counties. We offer tips\, tools\, and rebates to help people preserve our region’s water for future generations. \nErika Kinno\, Resource Recovery Research & Policy Project Manager – King County Wastewater Treatment Division\nKing County makes its sewer pipes available to private commercial property owners to use as a heat energy source for buildings. Sewer heat recovery can help lower energy costs\, save water\, and boost renewable energy use. The C-PACER program and Saving Water Partnership rebates are great opportunities that could support the use of this technology. \nRegister to join us on January 25th!

SUMMARY:Understanding the WA Clean Buildings Standard
DESCRIPTION:The Clean Buildings Standard is one measure Washington State is taking to improve building operational efficiency. Propelling buildings to targeted energy use intensity by building type and size\, all commercial buildings over 50\,000 sf will need to comply by 2028 (220\,000 sf by 2026)\, and then maintain compliance or be subject to penalties. \nUMC\, Hargis Engineers\, and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Council (NEEC) have joined forces to break down the Clean Buildings Standard’s  options and implications so you can define a path forward that aligns with your portfolio.

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.

SUMMARY:Draft Emissions Targets for Seattle Building Performance Standards
DESCRIPTION:Join the Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) for a technical webinar at which OSE and SBW Consulting will share the draft greenhouse gas intensity targets under consideration and the analysis conducted to inform the targets. Presentations will be followed by the opportunity for comments and questions. OSE will also provide a brief overview of the proposed policy and the updated timeline. \nThis webinar is a follow-up to open houses in April and June that provided detailed background and the draft policy framework. Recordings and slides from those events are available at www.seattle.gov/building-performance-standards. \n\nDate: October 25\, 2022 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm\nLocation: Online via Zoom\nPre-register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3nqYS-oWSo-v6_dCnCagNg\n\nThis webinar will be recorded and posted on the OSE website afterwards. \nAbout the Policy: Performance standards are a powerful tool to reduce climate pollution and transition toward cleaner\, healthier buildings where we live and work. This policy is projected to reduce emissions from Seattle’s buildings (in total) 27% by 2050. This policy would gradually phase out carbon pollution from existing nonresidential and multifamily buildings over 20\,000 sq. ft. through mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets beginning 2026 for the largest nonresidential buildings. Targets would become more stringent over time\, to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Visit www.seattle.gov/building-performance-standards for more information and timeline.

SUMMARY:Retro-commissioning in K-12 Schools
DESCRIPTION: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 requirements and identifying root causes of problems and energy saving opportunities. An RCx report can be useful evidence in securing funding for needed upgrades or efficiency measures. \nIn partnership with Puget Sound Energy\, the Smart Buildings Center brings you an engaging webinar exploring concepts of RCx specific to K-12 schools and the unique characteristics this sector brings. In this information session and panel discussion\, O&M professionals working in the K-12 sector will share their experience with RCx initiatives. Attendees will come away with practical resources for implementing RCx programs in their own facilities and will learn how utility incentive programs such as Strategic Energy Management (SEM) can help with funding and implementation.
