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: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:Building Decarbonization and the Future of Washington State
DESCRIPTION:November 16\, 2021 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm\nRegister \nJoin 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 the sector that leads the U.S. in carbon emissions? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2019\, commercial and residential buildings led the U.S. in carbon emissions\, making up 31% of total emissions which tops the transportation sector that accounts for 29% of total emissions. Buildings account for a majority of carbon emissions and building decarbonization is critical to slowing down climate change. In this panel\, you’ll learn about how Washington state has become a leader in building decarbonization and about ASHRAE’s efforts in decarbonization through the ASHRAE Task Force for Building Decarbonization.

SUMMARY:The Future of Building Occupancy
DESCRIPTION:Safety\, Efficiency and Sustainability in a Post-COVID World \nThe 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 building-based emissions come from day-to-day operations – heating\, cooling\, ventilating\, and lighting. And to make things worse\, it is estimated that about 30% of the energy used in buildings is wasted. \nWhy? One big problem is that buildings’ HVAC systems are often run with set schedules rather than being dynamic to reflect occupancy\, usage\, environment and other usage factors. \nWith information\, like real time occupancy\, buildings can be better managed in reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy. Join us Tuesday\, October 19th at noon PST/ 3 pm EST for this lively panel discussion and learn about the latest technology and artificial intelligence solutions for running HVAC systems and building controls to optimize for energy savings and sustainability. \nKey takeaways: \n\nLearn how to reduce energy costs by 30 – 40%\nFind out what it takes to be on the leading edge of sustainability innovations\nLearn first-hand how customers are using this today to reduce their energy and C02 emissions\nKnow how to ensure optimal uptime\, run efficiently and effectively for comfort and air quality
