SUMMARY:Planning and Design for Getting to Zero in Schools
DESCRIPTION:Zero energy school construction is a growing trend across the country. An innovative combination of internal and external champions\, integrated design\, energy efficiency management strategies and renewable energy is making these possible at little to no extra cost. The key to achieving zero energy is drastic energy reduction and cost shifting to areas that pay dividends and reduce those big upfront costs. Strategies such as building orientation\, daylighting\, thermal mass\, high efficiency systems and can reduce the over need for larger\, more expensive renewable energy systems to achieve that zero goal. CMTA\, Inc. has 10 schools operating at zero energy\, with 12 currently in design and hundreds more high performance schools across the nation on their resume. Join Zachary Schneider and Brian Turner from CMTA\, Inc. as they discuss the successful approach to planning for and designing these high performance schools without the price tag.

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:Regulatory Solutions for Building Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a live webinar on September 24 to learn more about the critical role utility regulators can play in cutting emissions from the buildings sector and ushering in a new era of clean\, affordable\, sustainable homes and offices. \n• Mike Henchen\, principal at RMI\, report co-author\n• Sherri Billimoria\, senior associate at RMI\, report co-author\n• Jessica Azulay\, executive director at the Alliance for a Green Economy \nAs states like Massachusetts\, California\, and New York start to grapple with the future of gas in the context of increasingly urgent climate change goals\, it’s clear the old model of utility regulation won’t be sufficient. Without a concerted effort to eliminate fossil fuels for space and water heating\, clothes drying\, and cooking\, buildings sector emissions will remain flat and states won’t meet their climate goals. Speakers will discuss these pressing challenges and offer a new vision for how regulators can lead in the effort to decarbonize buildings.

SUMMARY:Virtual Smart Buildings Week
DESCRIPTION:In place of the planned in-person Smart Buildings Exchange 2020 event\, we are hosting a free Virtual Smart Buildings Week September 14th-17th\, 2020. Each day during the lunch hour\, a virtual session crafted from key topics and speaker commitments for our planned in-person event will feature a lively and interactive panel discussion as outlined below. Registration for the first three virtual sessions on September 14th\, 15th and 16th is now open and details for a fourth session on September 17th will be announced soon. 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!

Each day during the lunch hour\, a virtual session crafted from key topics and speaker commitments for our planned in-person event will feature a lively and interactive panel discussion as outlined below. Registration for the first three virtual sessions on September 14th\, 15th and 16th is now open and details for a fourth session on September 17th will be announced soon. 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 \nRegister now for these engaging virtual panel discussions during Smart Buildings Week!

SUMMARY:Promoting Energy Efficient Lighting Systems
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been involved in a project where the new LED fixtures have been value engineered out and replaced by retrofit kits\, TLEDs\, fluorescent technology\, or disregarded from the project altogether? \nHas your Networked Lighting Control (NLC) system design been downscaled to a simple wallbox solution? \nAll too often\, new construction and renovation projects undergo value engineering which can lower up-front costs and make the project seem more approachable. Unfortunately\, this practice frequently leads to overspending in post-installation support\, not meeting stakeholder expectations\, decreasing quality\, and significant energy savings and non-energy benefits value being left on the table. \nWhile industry actors have made significant investments in outreach\, education\, and incentive programs to promote appropriate design adoption\, significant barriers still exist. This class will delve into these barriers as well as provide a set of tools\, techniques\, to help Lighting Practitioners ensure the most appropriate design highlighting quality and comfort is implemented in their projects. These tools and techniques will include: \n\nLighting Audit\nEfficient Financial Statements\nEnergy and non-Energy Benefits\nQualifying Questions\nUse Cases\nDesign Options with Estimates\nElevator Sales Pitch\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is suitable for lighting practitioners\, including designers\, contractors\, building operators\, architects\, engineers\, sales representatives\, as well as utility staff. \nLearning Goals \n\nEvaluate “good\, better\, best” approaches\, and how to navigate between them\nAnalyze energy savings and non-energy technological value that LEDs and NLCs can provide\nUnderstand techniques\, tools\, and resources on how to advance energy efficiency projects\nExplore use cases that highlight overspending resources post-completion\, and how appropriate design execution mitigates this risk

SUMMARY:Benefits of Energy and Domestic Water Submetering
DESCRIPTION:One of the top priorities of building owners and operators is the need for more efficient and accurate BTU metering. \nHaving good and reliable information can help reduce the amount of energy used\, by operating more efficiently. This can help reduce operational costs and recover revenue from inaccurate billing. \nSince the early 1980’s ultrasonic clamp-on Flow meters have been utilized for BTU metering and submetering. Some advantages of clamp-on meters are; retrofit capability—no shutdown required\, all in one BTU meter\, low flow sensitivity for measuring off peak flows\, and 1% accuracy. \nIn this presentation we will cover clamp-on BTU metering technology\, features\, accuracy\, and discuss the benefits of submetering in the energy industry.

SUMMARY:Audit & Retrofit Techniques
DESCRIPTION:The advent of LED lighting has caused a seismic shift in the lighting industry\, creating a renewed interest in how to best upgrade the lighting in existing buildings. One of the best places to start is to do an inventory of what your current lighting system is and what its strengths and weaknesses are. This will enable you to identify where to put most of your efforts. \nOnce the audit is evaluated\, it is time to start considering the most appropriate lighting options. Whether to retrofit\, replace\, or redesign are serious decisions to make\, and they will have implication on the costs\, energy savings\, and productivity of the resulting lighting system. No one approach is right for every project. If the project is dependent on utility participation\, there may be other factors to consider as well. \nAttendees of this class will gain access to the following tools to assist them on a variety of lighting upgrades projects. \n\nHow to evaluate your existing lighting system.\nKnowing what areas are most important to focus on.\nUnderstanding when to retrofit the existing fixtures\, and when they should be replaced.\nLearning the opportunities to add controls to the lighting project.\nHow to leverage utility incentives to maximize your savings.
