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:Interconnected: Bringing Multiple Stakeholders Together to Improve Building Design & Operations
DESCRIPTION:Project teams bring various stakeholders together for building projects\, but never has it been more vital to have multiple stakeholders sit together than in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design touches every aspect of the lives of people occupying a space\, so cross-disciplinary teams must work together to ensure buildings and designed\, constructed and operated in ways that support human health—from urban planners\, building owners\, architects\, engineers\, facility managers\, interior designers and human resources. \nThis webinar will bring a variety of building professionals together to discuss the importance of multidisciplinary teams in planning\, designing\, constructing and operating buildings in the future that support occupant wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Why Smart Buildings Virtual Executive Forum: Navigating the New World\, How the COVID-19 Crisis Has Strengthened the Case for Smart Buildings Practices & Technologies
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 crisis has impacted each of us and the world at large in ways that can’t be undone\, but it’s also strengthened the case for smart buildings technologies and practices to help mitigate unforeseen crisis\, maintain electrical grid reliability\, and better manage building operations to meet the needs of tenants\, occupants and other stakeholders to the built environment. Buildings and building technologies will play a critical role in driving society toward a new normal as we emerge from our homes and return to public life inside of buildings. As such\, the Smart Buildings Center is excited to invite you to a Why Smart Buildings Virtual Executive Forum: Navigating the New World\, How the COVID-19 Crisis Has Strengthened the Case for Smart Buildings Practices and Technologies. In this 90-minute webinar\, we will hear from Cara Carmichael of the Rocky Mountain Institute\, Art Smith of DB Engineering and Matt Golden of Recurve as they explore the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on commercial buildings.

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.
