Saving energy saves you money month after month. If you are just beginning to think about energy efficiency related capital upgrades or if you have been implementing them for years, learn how utility programs can pay you to help reach your goals faster. We will discuss the variety of Commissioning (Cx) paths available to lower your energy usage, as well as other programs, to help meet your energy efficiency targets all while helping your bottom line. |

The Future of Building Occupancy |
|
Smart Building Center Presents:
Safety, Efficiency and Sustainability in a Post-COVID World
|
Tuesday, October 19, 2021
12:00 PM PST / 3:00 PM EST
|
|
The Smart Buildings Center invites you to attend this important discussion on the future of building occupancy. As you may or may not know, the #1 emitter of greenhouse gas emissions is not industry or transportation, its buildings, representing 39% of all global GhG. Furthermore, almost 75% of those building-based emissions come from day-to-day operations – heating, cooling, ventilating, and lighting. And to make things worse, it is estimated that about 30% of the energy used in buildings is wasted.
Why? One big problem is that buildings’ HVAC systems are often run with set schedules rather than being dynamic to reflect occupancy, usage, environment and other usage factors.
With information, like real time occupancy, buildings can be better managed in reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy. Join us Tuesday, October 19th at noon PST/ 3 pm EST for this lively panel discussion and learn about the latest technology and artificial intelligence solutions for running HVAC systems and building controls to optimize for energy savings and sustainability.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how to reduce energy costs by 30 – 40%
- Find out what it takes to be on the leading edge of sustainability innovations
- Learn first-hand how customers are using this today to reduce their energy and C02 emissions
- Know how to ensure optimal uptime, run efficiently and effectively for comfort and air quality
