SUMMARY:Seattle City Light Pay for Performance Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Deep Retrofit Pay for Performance (P4P) program has been designed to enable customers to achieve energy efficiency through incentive payments\, which are made over time and based on energy savings measured at the electric meter. This differs from the standard approach of offering an upfront incentive payment based on the estimated energy savings from an energy conservation measure. \nSince savings are measured at the meter in P4P\, savings can come from building retrofits and equipment upgrades\, as well as behavioral\, operational and maintenance (O&M)\, and retro-commissioning activities. Participants receive a set incentive rate for energy savings achieved over the course of a defined performance period (either three or five years). Incentive payments are made at the end of each year of the performance period. \nPlease join Seattle City Light at the Smart Buildings Center\, Seattle (Wednesday\, October 31\, 2018 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM)\, to learn more about the new Deep Retrofit Pay for Performance Program. You’ll learn about how the program works\, how your business can benefit from participating\, and what you need to get started! \nJoin us in person (Limited Availability) or sign up to follow the event\, broadcast as a webinar. \nIf you have a project that you would like to have considered for Pay for Performance\, please contact an Energy Advisor at 206-684-3800 for the first steps to get started.

SUMMARY:Get the Latest on Lighting
DESCRIPTION:Join Seattle 2030 and BetterBricks for a networking breakfast to learn about the latest in lighting technology. Luminaire level lighting controls (LLLCs) combine LEDs\, controls\, connectivity and data for a flexible lighting product that can improve occupant comfort and space utilization and save substantially on energy use. LLLCs are distinct from other lighting control systems because they have sensors and controls embedded within individual fixtures. LLLCs can be controlled remotely and allow users to adjust the configuration of the lighting without replacing the fixtures. \nThis presentation provides an introduction to luminaire level lighting controls\, including case studies from buildings that have installed LLLCs\, and details on other efficient lighting options. \nWe encourage you to take public transit to Pacific Tower.

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.

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
