This class will be suitable for newer lighting practitioners including designers, contractors, architects, engineers, building operators, sales […]
This course introduces the engineering fundamentals of central heat pump water heater systems and evaluates important design considerations, while also presenting the current landscape of market delivery, product availability and refrigerant technologies.
As building owners and operators reflect on the pandemic, organizations are making plans to increase preparedness, improve resilience, and enact responsive building operations that can reduce energy and scale occupancy. Improving operations during periods of low occupancy, such as temporarily decommissioning buildings, can reduce energy consumption and help building owners avoid unnecessary costs. Learn from […]
Safety, Efficiency and Sustainability in a Post-COVID World The Smart Buildings Center invites you to attend this important discussion on the future of building occupancy. As you may or may not know, the #1 emitter of greenhouse gas emissions is not industry or transportation, its buildings, representing 39% of all global GhG. Furthermore, almost 75% of those […]

The Clean Buildings Act of 2019 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. […]
November 16, 2021 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm Register Join the Puget Sound ASHRAE Government Affairs Committee and Washington Society of Professional Engineers for a panel discussion on decarbonization in Washington State. What comes to mind when you think about the word “decarbonization”? Most might immediately picture the electric vehicle and the transportation sector. But what about […]

In this interactive webinar sponsored by Puget Sound Energy and hosted by Smart Buildings Center, panelists with expertise in Strategic Energy Management (SEM) in K-12 schools will discuss their lessons learned in navigating the challenges of operating their buildings safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ll also share insights for moving forward with a re-focus on […]
This one-hour webinar will highlight opportunities for addressing building energy use in new and existing buildings through increased efficiency and electrification. The webinar will begin with a preview of the draft ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction Label coming in 2022. This will be followed by an overview of Home Upgrade with ENERGY STAR, which creates […]
Building materials and construction represent 11% of global CO2 emissions. In this webinar, move from theoretical assessment and reduction to practice as panelists share real-world examples of tackling embodied carbon. Join us as we explore life-cycle assessments and building design and renovation to reduce CO2 emissions.
As more multifamily housing providers begin to develop decarbonization goals, it’s time for a conversation on strategies to break down barriers. During this webinar, take a deeper dive into the challenges and opportunities for reducing carbon in multifamily buildings, and how multifamily organizations can begin to set goals and plan strategies.
Since 2015, Better Buildings and Better Plants partners have showcased how water management can reduce cost, energy, and environmental impact, saving more than 10 billion gallons. However, additional benefits can include more efficient operations, improved occupant health and wellness, and increased resiliency. Join partners from multiple sectors to learn how they've realized the many benefits […]
This course explores how to successfully design and engineer a central heat pump water heating system using commercial equipment. It explores how commercial HPWH systems meet the requirements of new state and local policies and building codes, and it presents the significant energy savings of these efficient domestic hot water systems. This course introduces the […]
