This webinar will examine the differences and benefits of utilizing occupancy sensors in place of CO2 sensors for optimizing ventilation control for energy efficiency. Register here
Join the Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) for a technical webinar at which OSE and SBW Consulting will share the draft greenhouse gas intensity targets under consideration and the analysis conducted to inform the targets. Presentations will be followed by the opportunity for comments and questions. OSE will also provide a brief overview of […]
Description This training will provide an introduction to the Washington State Clean Buildings Performance Standard (CBPS) and highlight tools and resources available to installers, vendors, and building operators to assist building owners with energy efficiency improvements that may be required for standard compliance. Presenter’s bio Rebecca Sheppard is a Senior Project Manager at the Northwest […]
K-12 school superintendents and facility staff face many challenges to operating their buildings efficiently and effectively. Common challenges include funding and staffing issues. Deferred maintenance, antiquated systems, or even poorly operating modern systems can have a direct impact on learning outcomes. Retro-commissioning (RCx) is a process that optimizes building system performance by defining current operating […]
This webinar will examine the role of building electrification in the clean energy economy and explore how electrification programs, strategies, and technologies can make an impact in your building. Presenters will highlight an innovative “Eco-District” that uses a centralized plant to provide energy to multiple buildings. Speakers: Seth Davis, McKinstry; Mike Kowalick, Edo Moderator: Steve […]
Learn about heat pump and variable refrigerant flow system applications for new and existing buildings and how these technologies can help accelerate the transition to building electrification. Presenters will discuss strategies that can improve the return on investment for these projects and the necessary skill sets for building operators to manage these technologies in their […]
Are you new to understanding your building’s greenhouse gas emissions and want to learn some simple steps to understand your building’s climate impact? Join the Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) on this beginner-friendly webinar to learn how to quickly estimate and track your building’s current emissions using local utility emissions factors and ENERGY STAR […]
