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:Use microtargeting techniques to achieve your energy-efficiency goals
DESCRIPTION:As a result of COVID-19\, energy utilities and implementers face uncertainty and risk about whether they can achieve their 2020 demand-side management (DSM) savings targets. They’re also facing the added challenge of offering programs that are safe for customers and employees. There’s been debate about the future of energy-efficiency programs\, but T&D World\, an online transmission and distribution (T&D) resource for utilities\, thinks the pandemic will create new opportunities. In the article COVID-19 Will Create Energy Efficiency Opportunities\, T&D World’s grid optimization editor David Shadle recognizes that in-home and workplace programs have been stalled but thinks they could take on greater importance in the coming months and years. \nTo make sure your upcoming DSM programs are successful\, you’ll need to resegment your residential customers. A lot of your customers are experiencing unemployment because of the pandemic\, so you’ll see a larger pool of low-income candidates\, and some have been able to work from home and save money from doing so. COVID-19 has shaken up your customers; they don’t look the same as they did six months ago. It’s a good time for you to resegment your residential customer base and get the right programs and messaging to the right people. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nDevelop a plan for your postpandemic activities to achieve the most energy savings\nUse data to better connect with your customers\nMaximize marketing and outreach budgets within energy-efficiency programs\nUse microtargeting to identify and cross-promote other energy-efficiency programs\n\nE Source has partnered with Claritas to quickly and cost-effectively deliver information about your customers and programs. Within four weeks of working with us\, we’ll give you customer data that you can immediately use to target the right customers with. \nSpeakers: \nCindy Schweitzer\, Vice President\, Customer Solutions\, E Source\nRachel Cooper Director\, Market Research\, E Source\nChad Garrett\, Managing Director\, Consulting and Advisory Services\, E Source \nWho should attend: \nAny energy industry professional who’s tasked with achieving DSM savings targets. \nFor more information about attending this event\, please email us or call 1-800-ESOURCE (1-800-376-8723).

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.
