Register today using the link below. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar. \nRegister now!\n  \nFeatured Speakers \nChuck Murray\, Senior Energy Policy Specialist\nWashington State Department of Commerce\, State Energy Office\nChuck Murray has served the State of Washington for 29 years\, providing original field research\, project implementation and policy development in the energy efficiency field. Policy development has resulted in state legislation requiring incremental improvements in energy codes stringency\, mandatory building energy benchmarking and a first-in-nation existing building efficiency standard. Chuck also helped the Governor’s office craft the EV charging infrastructure legislation included in the building code. Chuck supports development state capital funding for energy efficiency programs\, including net zero low-income housing. \nAndrea Pratt\, Climate & Transportation Policy Advisor\nDrive Clean Seattle Program\, City of Seattle\nAndrea Pratt has worked at the City of Seattle since 2011. In 2014\, she authored the City’s Green Fleet Action Plan and managed a successful transition to biodiesel (B20) for over 1\,000 fleet vehicles in 2015. Andrea was a lead developer of the Drive Clean Seattle initiative in 2016\, which calls for a 50% reduction in fleet emissions by 2025. To that end\, she is expanding alternative fuel use including biodiesel and renewable diesel blends\, deploying green technology fleet wide and electrifying light-duty vehicles. Andrea manages EV infrastructure expansion\, aiming to install over 400 charging stations at dozens of fleet locations\, and spearheads green fleet policy and procurement efforts. \nKathleen Petrie\, Green Code Specialist\nSustainable Cities\, King County\nKathleen Petrie has worked with King County since 2017\, where she leads development of the Green Building portion of King County’s 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across King County. Kathleen developed zoning\, energy and building codes administered by the Permitting Department in close alignment with King County’s 2015 Strategic Climate Action Plan. She helped King County achieve a nationally recognized honor for removing barriers to installing solar energy technologies. When she worked with the City of Seattle\, Kathleen founded the Regional Code Collaboration\, a collection of jurisdictions from the Puget Sound region sharing expertise and resources to develop building codes and policies that address material\, water\, energy conservation and sustainable transportation.

SUMMARY:Building Decarbonization and the Future of Washington State
DESCRIPTION:November 16\, 2021 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm\nRegister \nJoin the Puget Sound ASHRAE Government Affairs Committee and Washington Society of Professional Engineers for a panel discussion on decarbonization in Washington State. What comes to mind when you think about the word “decarbonization”? Most might immediately picture the electric vehicle and the transportation sector. But what about the sector that leads the U.S. in carbon emissions? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2019\, commercial and residential buildings led the U.S. in carbon emissions\, making up 31% of total emissions which tops the transportation sector that accounts for 29% of total emissions. Buildings account for a majority of carbon emissions and building decarbonization is critical to slowing down climate change. In this panel\, you’ll learn about how Washington state has become a leader in building decarbonization and about ASHRAE’s efforts in decarbonization through the ASHRAE Task Force for Building Decarbonization.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Barriers to and Progress Towards More Interoperable Building Systems
DESCRIPTION: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 cost intensive\, and thus a barrier to deployment. Sematic interoperability standards can reduce these barriers\, and several such standards are currently being finalized or updated. Join this webinar to learn about recent progress and suggestions for how building managers might leverage them when procuring new equipment or making upgrades from Michael Poplawski at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \nSpeakers: Michael Poplawski\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory \n\nRegistration Link
