This calendar is intended to serve as a resource for those interested in remote learning events related to commercial energy and facilities management. Submit your event. All submissions moderated by SBC.
Distributed energy resources, including onsite renewables, electric vehicles, and battery storage, will play a critical role in the shift to a clean and resilient energy system. Presenters will discuss applications and benefits of these technologies in different types of facilities, including DER integration in building retrofit projects. Speakers: Diana Burk, New Buildings Institute; Carlos Velazquez, […]
Learn about how digital twin technology can help optimize building performance and operations in both new and existing buildings. Presenters will discuss how interacting with live Internet of Things (IoT) data can generate actionable insights for building operators. Speaker: Rick Szcodronski, Willow Moderator: Kevin Fish, Strategic Energy Group
Start getting prepared for this new requirement! BEPS applies to existing nonresidential and multifamily buildings greater than 20,000 square feet and sets carbon emissions targets that buildings must meet over time to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Compliance starts with benchmarking data verification and emissions reporting requirements due starting in 2027 to encourage planning and […]
Webinar description: Exhaust ventilation systems in commercial & large multifamily buildings are a vital building system with significant energy, sustainability and occupant health & safety implications. Recent code requirements place increased emphasis on getting them right in both new construction and retrofit projects. This session explores how these systems work, as well as some scenarios […]
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 […]
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 […]
