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.

SUMMARY:Estimating Your Building’s Emissions and Draft Targets for the Proposed Seattle Building Emissions Performance Standards (BEPS)
DESCRIPTION:Are you new to understanding your building’s greenhouse gas emissions and want to learn some simple steps to understand your building’s climate impact? Join the Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) on this beginner-friendly webinar to learn how to quickly estimate and track your building’s current emissions using local utility emissions factors and ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager data. Then learn how to estimate emissions reduction targets using details from the proposed BEPS policy. OSE will also provide a brief overview of the proposed BEPS policy and the current policy timeline. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity for comments and questions. This webinar is a follow-up to the online open houses and emissions targets analysis webinar last year. Recordings and slides from those events are available at www.seattle.gov/building-performance-standards. \nTranslation services are available upon request. Call (206) 233-7184 or email cleanbuildings@seattle.gov. \nAbout the Proposed Policy: Performance standards are a powerful tool to reduce climate pollution and transition toward cleaner\, healthier buildings where we live and work. The proposed BEPS policy is projected to reduce emissions from Seattle’s buildings (in total) 27% by 2050. This proposed 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 2027 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.

SUMMARY:Retrofit reality check: Overcome challenges and maximize opportunities in commercial and residential buildings
DESCRIPTION: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 that they might not always be able to access. Homes might need critical repair before an energy retrofit. Supply chain issues. Labor shortages. The list goes on. Join subject matter experts from Slipstream and IFMA for a frank conversation with experts who work in residential and commercial buildings about what it will really take to rise to the retrofit challenge.

SUMMARY:Seattle’s Building Emissions Performance Standard: What You Need to Know Now
DESCRIPTION:Start getting prepared for this new requirement! \nBEPS 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 action to meet first emissions targets by 2031-2035. \nJoin Nicole Ballinger from OSE for a webinar on Thursday\, February 1 from 10:00 to 11:30. Hosted by the Lighting Design Lab. \nLearn the basics of BEPS\, hear about 2024 rulemaking and program design planning\, and get a sneak peek into how to estimate a building’s emissions using a greenhouse gas intensity metric.

SUMMARY:Exhaust Ventilation System Energy Conservation Measures for Savings
DESCRIPTION:Webinar description: Exhaust ventilation systems in commercial & large multifamily buildings are a vital building system with significant energy\, sustainability and occupant health & safety implications. Recent code requirements place increased emphasis on getting them right in both new construction and retrofit projects. This session explores how these systems work\, as well as some scenarios where they don’t work. It explores where to find these projects and how to integrate them into an overall “airside” energy and building performance project. \nLearning objectives \nAfter completing the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how exhaust ventilation systems really work in the field and the factors that contribute to their role in a successful project.\nIdentify good candidates for retrofit and the “pain points” that motivate action for building owners and operators.\nExplore the components in an overall solution that will achieve desired energy and building performance results.\n\nSpeaker: Thomas Holmes\, Aeroseal

SUMMARY:Webinar: Barriers to and Progress Towards More Interoperable Building Systems
DESCRIPTION:Achieving the energy efficiency potential of advanced building systems has long required the use of controls. However\, controls require data\, as do other software applications that enable\, for example\, space utilization analytics or grid-responsiveness. The configuration of such applications – that is\, the matching of data sources to software needs\, has long been time and cost intensive\, and thus a barrier to deployment. Sematic interoperability standards can reduce these barriers\, and several such standards are currently being finalized or updated. Join this webinar to learn about recent progress and suggestions for how building managers might leverage them when procuring new equipment or making upgrades from Michael Poplawski at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \nSpeakers: Michael Poplawski\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory \n\nRegistration Link
