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

SUMMARY:Power Over Ethernet Online
DESCRIPTION:The digital nature of LED technology brings illumination and IT together\, allowing lighting systems to participate in the Internet of Things. \nWhy use Power over Ethernet (PoE)? \nTime and cost savings – Reduce time and expense of installation when compared to typical high voltage installation; there is not an actual need to hire an Electrical Contractor if an IT team can manage the connections. Network cables do not require high voltage and can be located anywhere. \nFlexibility – Easily adapts new lighting strategies at the touch of a button. The systems are scalable and most any device or system can be included. A dashboard could be populated not just with a lighting system data\, but other systems such as cameras\, phones\, HVAC\, etc. The platform allows for interoperability of all systems that are connected. \nSafety – Little to no risk of electrical injuries when installing since high voltage is not present and risk of fire is reduced \nReliability –System is controlled by a central source rather than a collection of distributed circuits\, reducing failures.  It can also be supported by a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). \nInformation – Real-time data that can be collected/stored/mined and can report in real time any and all anomalies for better facility management. \nLEARNING GOALS \n\nReview the key benefits and applications for PoE Lighting technologies\nGain awareness of the current state of the PoE lighting industry\, the key technical and policy standards governing it\, and the major players in the market\nUnderstand the base architecture of a PoE Lighting system\, its components and the connectivity requirements\, and its scalability potential\nDiscern the PoE Lighting role in a smart building ecosystem

SUMMARY:Ask the Lighting Experts: What 1:1 Replacement Means for Energy Savings and Light Quality
DESCRIPTION:There’s a lot of buzz about the benefits of luminaire level lighting controls (LLLC)\, from space flexibility to simplicity of installation and beyond. Now\, a new research study shows LED retrofits with luminaire level lighting controls have the potential for big energy savings and high quality of light – but without the big price tag. \nFor this first-of-its-kind research\, experts from the University of Oregon and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) studied a 1\,000 square foot office space\, analyzing the amount of energy saved when fluorescent lights were individually retrofitted with an LED equipped with LLLC compared to a complete redesign. \nJoin us for a free\, virtual event on Thursday\, October 1\, at 10 a.m. PT as the researchers behind the study unveil the results and discuss the lighting implications as we look at the future of commercial spaces. \nHave questions you want to ask? Feel free to submit them ahead of time in the questions/comments box when you register. Or\, send them to nshaddy@cplusc.com.

SUMMARY:What Went Wrong?
DESCRIPTION:The IESNA Design Guide 7-1994 reveals how lighting professionals must function simultaneously as engineers\, artists\, code experts\, project coordinators\, collaborators\, administrators\, advocates\, and evaluators. Today\, the same lighting professionals must also be well-versed in the emerging technologies that lighting is expanding into or serving as infrastructure for: IoT\, smart buildings\, light and health\, horticultural lighting\, and an endless integration potential. \nThat being said\, is there potential to make mistakes? (That’s a big YES) \nHindsight is 20/20\, as people say. On September 22nd\, 2020\, we invite you to learn from the mistakes of three seasoned lighting professionals in a live panel-based webinar. The panelists will dissect key avoidable issues across different stages of their past lighting projects. Come ready to identify common lighting system design and implementation pitfalls through real examples\, understand why and what went wrong\, and more importantly\, leverage strategies to proactively overcome these obstacles. \nJoin moderator Armando Berdiel with panelists Shaun Darragh and Daniel Salinas for this enlightening webinar!

These one-hour sessions each qualify for 1 Building Operator Certification (BOC) credential maintenance point and 0.10 IACET CEUs towards the renewal of industry certifications\, certificates and licenses including but not limited to AIA\, PE\, LEED\, IFMA\, ASHRAE\, and AEE. \nSmart Buildings: Using Data and Analytics to Improve Performance\nSeptember 14th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nThis session brings together two leading local smart service providers and two facility directors who have real world experience bringing smart solutions to their buildings. Designing for optimal performance is no guarantee that it will happen. The ability to acquire system performance data is no guarantee that the data will trigger operational improvements. In these two case studies\, buildings that should have been “top of their game” needed a new approach. Attendees will hear how ATS Automation and DB Engineering intervened to help facility directors collect relevant data from installed building systems\, use analytical tools to provide insights into performance problems\, and then – most importantly – help those facilities take action. The results speak for themselves. Improved energy performance that is persisting over time. \nModerator: Stan Price\, Smart Buildings Center \nPanelists: Pete Segall\, ATS Automation; Trevor Sodorff\, DB Engineering; Tim Wingert\, CBRE; Keith Berkoben\, Google \nSmart Buildings: Grid Enabled (and Efficient) Buildings\nSeptember 15th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nGrid enabled buildings (GEB) are equipped with technologies for load management that can respond to dynamic conditions in the electric grid. GEBs are generally more efficient (HVAC\, lighting\, envelope\, appliances)\, connected (hardware and software)\, smart (data and analytics)\, and flexible (loads\, generation\, storage). In an environment where hardware is increasingly attractively priced and a plethora of data is available\, building owners are able to provide a significant benefit to a utility’s growing portfolio of resources and play a creative role in meeting its resource capacity needs in real time and for the long term. GEBs also offer the owner the additional value proposition of taking more control of their utility costs. \nAn expert\, national panel will describe the key features of GEBs and outline the value streams that accrue to both the building owner and the serving utility in creating this grid enabled relationship. The panel will discuss both the technology required to create a two-way communication condition as well as the cost and benefits to all the parties in making GEBs a reality. \nModerators: Ben Levie\, Seattle City Light; Mark Lenssen\, Puget Sound Energy \nPanelists: Alexi Miller\, New Buildings Institute; Cara Carmichael\, Rocky Mountain Institute; Mark Frankel\, Ecotope; Mary Ann Piette\, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory \nSmart Buildings: Achieving Persistent Operational Performance\nSeptember 16th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nFacility energy performance and operations are often in direct conflict. It’s tough to hear\, but the scales are not balanced for building owners or operators. Social pressure\, building codes and new legislation are pushing EUI targets lower and lower. Advanced energy systems and smart building controls tease easy answers during initial design and construction\, but the harsh reality is that designing an efficient building does not translate to operations success and often only adds to reactive practices\, deferred maintenance and risk. In most cases\, operators are not prepared to take on complicated building systems and new-to-them technologies. With inadequate training or resources\, overtaxed staff override system settings to simply make it work. The result inadvertently drives up energy consumption and negates all efforts to optimize energy performance during design and construction while reducing asset life and introducing unnecessary risks. \nThe transition to smart and sustainable operations offers a best practice that balances the scales between energy expectations and operational realities. Panelists will outline proven approaches on actual projects that bridge design\, build\, train\, optimize to ensure current energy requirements are effective and met. \nModerator: Ric Cochrane\, McKinstry \nPanelists: Mike Kowalick\, South Landing EcoDistrict; Roy Buchert\, Kaiser Permanente; Norm Menter\, University of Washington \nSmart Buildings: Creating Intelligent Spaces\nSeptember 18th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM \nThe Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the world\, including the built environment. This transformation is already underway leading to improved organizational productivity\, better space utilization\, and more efficient and healthier buildings. To make this transformation successful\, it’s important to both understand the technology and practices as well as the cross-organizational nature of adopting smart projects. Microsoft has keen insight here based on its own adoption of smart technologies at their buildings as well as through close working relationships with its partner ecosystem. Microsoft will share a number of key considerations that can help building owners and operators make a successful transformation to buildings that are more agile\, flexible\, efficient\, and productive. \nRegister now for these engaging virtual panel discussions during Smart Buildings Week!

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:Resilient Buildings in a Time of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Professor Victoria Hardy\, RCFM\, will be hosting this webinar on how building and facilities managers can strengthen their response to COVID-19. What are others in the field doing to make their buildings safer and more useful during this time? How can you address this change and prepare for other emergencies before they happen? \nModerator:\nVictoria Hardy\, RCFM\, ASHRAE Associate\, Consultant and Adjunct Faculty\, B.A.S. Sustainable Building Science Technology \nPanelists and SBST alumni:\n– Amy Cho\, Critical Environment Program Manager\, Puget Sound Datacenter\n– Patrick Hart\, Executive Director\, National Association of Church Facilities Managers\n– Kevin Kajita\, CHFM. Director of Support Services at Evergreen Hospital\n– Casey Lawrence\, Director of Plant Engineering\, Pacific Research Labs \nResilient buildings are those able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. In today’s world\, that means sanitizing with new cleaning schedules and a fresh approach to HVAC management\, filters\, air quality\, humidity control\, and disinfectant. \nMany organizations are planning workplace reorganizations\, with more remote access and social distancing in the office. Then there are the energy and transportation implications of the shutdown. \nHost Professor Hardy is an expert in facilities management. Hardy developed the first Human and Environmental Factors Competency Guidelines for the International Facility Management Association and served as principal author on the Facility Management Commissioning Module for the Project Resource Manual from the Construction Specifications Institute. \nCome hear these speakers share their perspective about how COVID-19 is changing building operations\, finance\, and workplace health and safety.

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.

SUMMARY:Access Control 2020: The State of the Industry
DESCRIPTION:A new study of security directors\, managers\, and consultants finds access control infrastructure is deteriorating\, as is the confidence that the access control systems in place are up for the job. These findings come from a survey of ASIS International members and customers on access control technology and its use. The study underscores the complexities of managing physical security at a time when the technological sophistication of bad actors and the potential costs of security vulnerabilities are rapidly increasing.
