SUMMARY:The Dynamic Duo: Unleash Public Sector Energy Savings with Financing and Technical Assistance
DESCRIPTION:Access to financing and technical assistance is key to unlocking the significant energy savings potential within the public sector. For states\, local governments\, and K-12 stakeholders seeking to reduce costs and meet efficiency goals\, financing needs to be customized and simplified through technical assistance. Speakers will discuss how financing products such as energy-as-a-service\, energy savings performance contracting\, and traditional loans and leases can address public sector barriers. When paired with effective technical assistance\, financing products can serve a broader segment of the public sector to maximize energy and cost savings. \nSpeakers: Dale Hahs\, Energy Services Coalition; Anastasia Beckett\, Metrus Energy

SUMMARY:The Value of Connected Lighting
DESCRIPTION:The commercial lighting market has seen significant shifts\, first with the proliferation of LEDs\, and now as controls become more sophisticated. As controls progress from a wall switch with a manual on-off control to more advanced controls that incorporate multi-feature sensors and luminaires embedded with controls\, lack of understanding\, interoperability issues\, and often an unclear value proposition has slowed the adoption of connected lighting systems. \nThis Guidehouse Insights webinar will examine the key trends in the connected lighting market\, the benefits connected systems can provide\, and the role of energy efficiency\, sustainability\, integration and interoperability\, and codes and standards. Krystal Maxwell\, a senior research analyst covering lighting efficiency at Guidehouse Insights\, will lead a discussion with Levin Nock\, senior technical manager at DesignLights Consortium; Chris Wolgamott\, senior product manager at Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance; and Peter Jacobson\, lighting specialist at Con Edison\, on the challenges faced by building owners and facility managers and how key stakeholders—including facility managers\, utilities\, standards and quality organizations\, and technology firms—can work together to accelerate the adoption of connected lighting systems.

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:Decarbonization Policy Framework: Building Policies
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonizing our building stock requires a comprehensive set of actions\, occurring in parallel and phased in over time\, across different sectors and levels of government. NEEP’s Building Decarbonization Public Policy Framework lays out the pathway. A successful transition to zero carbon [buildings] will require market transformation with advanced technological solutions\, and equitable and fair policy mechanisms. Critical policy areas include comprehensive state and utility policy\, building regulation\, and alignment with evaluation\, measurement\, and verification (EM&V). \nBuildings consume about two-thirds of the United States’ power supply and produce about 40 percent of carbon emissions nationwide. Existing buildings and buildings being constructed now will have a considerable impact on our region’s energy use 50 to 100 years from now. Therefore\, the built environment\, including residential\, commercial\, and public structures\, presents an opportunity to drastically reduce carbon emissions. During this webinar we will learn from best practices in building codes\, benchmarking and building standards\, and residential labeling.
