This webinar will cover the myriad uses of Building Automation Systems (BAS) and how this technology is transforming the landscape of building operations. From optimizing energy efficiency to ensuring occupant comfort, BAS plays a pivotal role in streamlining operations and enhancing overall building performance. Speakers will provide real-world examples showcasing how BAS can effectively schedule […]
Electrification efforts are driving heat pump installations and as a result the use of refrigerants is increasing. Refrigerants, which can cause climate and environmental harm, need to be optimized for cleanliness and performance to meet decarbonization goals. Speakers will discuss the EPA’s hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phasedown and how this regulation will affect refrigeration and space conditioning […]
As more individual and fleet vehicles become all-electric, the demand for EV charging infrastructure will continue to increase. This webinar will address common challenges and considerations for building operators, managers, and owners as they look to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure at their facilities. Speakers will discuss funding opportunities, best practices, and lessons learned.
Join this webinar to hear about the benefits of HVAC controls for retail buildings, from a chain of country clubs and a retail skin care brand. Improved controls are proven to reduce energy waste by 10%-20% and improve occupant comfort. Presenters will share their approach to upgrading controls, the benefits they’ve experienced, and the lessons […]
This webinar will explore the relationships between demand flexibility, demand response, and demand management. Speakers will discuss strategies and technologies that enable facilities staff to determine and control when and how a building is using energy to optimize performance and lower operating costs.
On May 30th, 2-3pm EST (11-12 PST), the Space Conditioning team and guest speakers will present detailed examples of efficient large boiler systems in the field. We will talk about system components, performance, challenges, and successes. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, and we invite you to join the discussion. Register here!
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 […]
Waste heat recovery systems can substantially reduce energy consumption and utility bills for heating and cooling. Thermal energy storage can contribute to significant energy savings and load flexibility. Learn about real-world applications of waste heat recovery and thermal energy storage to explore whether these solutions are a good fit for your facility.
Water management strategies can reduce operating costs, energy usage, and environmental impact for buildings and municipalities. They can also improve water resiliency enabling cities to better cope with water-related stresses and mitigate impacts on key water infrastructure during storms and natural disasters. Speakers will discuss strategies to minimize water use in building and irrigation systems […]
