SUMMARY:Know the Code: Understanding Building Code Compliance Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Know the Code: Understanding Building Code Compliance \nEvery year\, new technology\, research\, and regulations drive changes in building code requirements.  These changes create an environment where it can be difficult to keep specifications up to date. That’s why it’s crucial to know in advance what future evolutions are in store for building codes. \nJoin Eric Makela\, from Cadmus\, and John Elverum\, from Johns Manville\, for their live webinar\, Know the Code: Understanding Building Code Compliance\, on Tuesday\, December 12th at 2:00 PM ET. These two industry experts will address evolving building codes and what we can expect to see in the next few years. \nIn addition to discussing upcoming building code evolutions\, Eric and John will also discuss the following topics: \nPitfalls that can drive your specification out of code\nProperly interpreting building codes when specifying insulation\nDriving forces behind code evolutions\nCertificate of Completion*\nThe webinar will conclude with a live Q&A where you can submit your questions directly to our co-hosts. \nAll attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion that may be submitted for Professional Development Hours (PDH) credits*.

SUMMARY:Building Renewal and the Spark Tool - Assess Your Building's Potential
DESCRIPTION:Join BetterBricks and AIA Portland to learn about the building renewal strategy and how to use the Spark Tool to assess if your building is ready for a deep energy retrofit.\nThis in-person training will focus on how to leverage Spark’s integrated technical and financial reports to communicate the business case for building renewal projects. The training will include an overview of the building renewal strategy\, a live demonstration of the Spark Tool\, and a look at the customized integrated measure packages the Tool can create. \nSPARK\nSpark\, a free\, interactive online tool\, can help you determine if your commercial building is a good candidate for a deep energy retrofit. This early assessment tool produces a report with estimated energy savings and real estate returns\, and suggested measures and next steps. Watch this short video to learn how Spark can reposition a building. \nBUILDING RENEWAL\nBuilding renewal is a real estate strategy to modernize a building and improve its competitive position by focusing on comprehensive energy efficiency upgrades resulting in 35% or more of a building’s energy use and costs. \nEARN AIA CEUs & BUILDING OPERATOR CERTIFCATION® (BOC) POINTs\nThis Spark training provides 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU) for AIA and 1 maintenance point towards renewal of the BOC® credential. \nCONTACT\nJohnathon Fata johnathonfata@waypointbuilding.com \n  \n

SUMMARY:Why Smart Buildings?
DESCRIPTION:The Edge building in Amsterdam is elected to be one of the smartest and greenest buildings in the world.  “From the minute you wake up\, you’re connected.  The app checks your schedule and…finds you a desk.  Because at The Edge\, you don’t have one.  No one does.”  – (Full Bloomberg article and video here.).    That is just the beginning of the amazing and sophisticated technology you can find at The Edge\, where Erik Ubels\, Chief Technology Officer at OVG Real Estate and former CIO for Deloitte\, was responsible for the development of this quintessential model of a smart building. \nJoin us at the Smart Buildings Center as we welcome Erik Ubels to our inaugural Executive Forum “Why Smart Buildings?”.  Erik will share his experience in the development of The Edge and how the IoT infrastructure within the building empowers a more productive workforce.  There will be opportunities for Q&A and we will also host a local panel with unique perspectives on smart in the PNW.  Seats are limited\, register today! \n

SUMMARY:The Path to Clean Energy in Washington: the role of energy efficiency in fulfilling the dream of 100% clean
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has ended.  Links to the recorded webinar and presentation are available here. \nWebinar description: \nHere in the Pacific Northwest\, we pride ourselves on being a national leader in energy efficiency while also having some of the cleanest and most affordable electricity in the nation. But despite our leadership in these areas\, we also know that the built environment is a large contributor to our region’s carbon emissions. Recently\, there has been a push for Washington State to lead the nation in transitioning to the clean energy economy of the future by developing a path to 100% clean energy. As this movement gains momentum\, we as an industry need to understand the role of energy efficiency in achieving this vision. Join NEEC and hear from Vlad Gutman-Britten\, the Climate Solutions Washington State Policy Director\, as he discusses what it takes to achieve 100% clean energy and specifically how energy efficiency can help our state achieve this goal.
