This conference will feature best practices, lessons learned, and ideas that are being implemented globally when it comes to creating a smart city infrastructure that not only can be implemented today, but that can be sustainable for the future.

Attendees will discuss technologies, strategies, and programs for reducing energy use and addressing climate impacts. Presentation topics include net zero energy buildings, utility of the future, smart grid, resilient communities, electrification, energy equity, smart program design, behavioral approaches, and government policies. Early registration through July 31.

Participants will learn to avoid LED lighting pitfalls before purchasing and installing LED systems. Several current government and industry standards that guide purchasers to avoid issues with LED lighting systems will be addressed. CEU credit-eligible.

The American Solar Energy Society National Solar Conference and Expo will focus on maximizing renewable energy, and forging pathways for communities in every state to follow to achieve renewables-driven electrification, climate resilience, and clean-energy driven opportunities for all. Participants will be encouraged to hear the facts and weigh the controversies; share research and experience; and consider how supporters of high-renewables goals nationwide can work together to address the challenges and speed progress toward full reliance on sustainable, renewable energy. Topics will include:

• Broadening access to renewables to give everyone a choice
• Promoting clean electrification—a dramatic shift in household, business and transportation sectors
• Working toward energy resilience and recovery from accelerating climate emergencies

Participants will learn about the latest electric vehicle technologies and how to implement them. Topics include battery systems and workplace charging stations. Industry presenters will discuss resources to help with purchasing decisions as well as infrastructure initiatives in the Midwest that support electric vehicles. Participants can test-drive electric vehicles in the afternoon session.

This six-hour course has been created for those ready to take the NABCEP PV Associate Exam, or any entry-level exam in photovoltaics. We'll discuss test-taking strategies, review the logistics of NABCEP exams, and use practice questions to prepare you for test day.

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) webinar will discuss their recently released report, Through the Local Government Lens: Developing the Energy Efficiency Workforce. It will showcase cities’ and stakeholders efforts to grow a diverse and robust workforce equitably by offering training programs and coordinating with community colleges, utilities, industry, as well as other key stakeholders. Programs from Boston, New Orleans and Los Angeles will be featured.

This two-day course uses a series of presentations, resources, design examples, calculators, tools, and demonstrations to teach participants the basic step-by-step process of designing a utility-interactive residential or small commercial PV system. Participants will use site assessments, design and component proposals, and case studies to learn about selecting equipment, system sizing, layout planning, array siting, and other design considerations.

An RFP is a tool used to procure valuable assets and/or services for energy projects. During this webinar, attendees will learn how to develop proposals that effectively reflect tribal community energy plans and encourage qualified bidders to respond. Attendees will also learn how to use a request for information (RFI) to inform the development of an RFP. Using the information from the webinar, tribes can ensure their RFPs have wide distribution and high-quality responses. The webinar will also discuss key considerations for tribes when responding to an electric utility RFP for energy development.
