ACEEE Webinar: Incorporating Energy Efficiency-Driven Pollution Reductions into State Implementation Plans
Friday, April 20, 2018On Thursday, April 19, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) will release a new report, Mission Attainment: Incorporating Pollution Reductions from Energy Efficiency in State Implementation Plans. The report identifies geographic areas where energy efficiency can deliver the greatest pollution reductions to help states to comply with federal air quality regulations. Join ACEEE for an overview of the analysis and report findings, tools available to states for incorporating energy efficiency in state implementation plans, and additional areas beyond NAAQS where energy efficiency can help states to meet air quality goals.
UW Engineering Professional Development Course: Certification Orientation/Review and Examination for Accredited Commissioning Process Provider
Friday, April 20, 2018 to Saturday, April 21, 2018Become an Accredited Commissioning Process Provider with a commissioning certification from UW-Madison. UW-Madison commissioning certifications offer you recognition for your knowledge of the ASHRAE Commissioning Process through a combination of courses and an examination. Additional certification options are available with proof of professional experience.
UW Engineering Professional Development Course: The Commissioning Process for Existing Buildings
Thursday, April 19, 2018 to Friday, April 20, 2018Course attendees will learn an effective approach to access the potential benefits of commissioning existing buildings, and develop a plan to identify opportunities and execute activities in all phases for existing buildings and retro-commissioning programs. You will also learn how to implement a campus, city, or corporate-wide commissioning process program. The cost and benefits of the process, and the role in performance contracts for energy and retro-commissioning programs, will be discussed.
M-WERC: Energy Efficiency Conference
Thursday, April 19, 2018This Mid-West Energy Research Consortium (M-WERC) event will explore topics related to energy efficiency including energy efficiency trends and programs in the Midwest, industrial energy efficiency, commercial building energy efficiency, and energy efficiency policy. The event will be followed by a luncheon for organizations interested in dialogue and discussions on industrial energy efficiency topics. The meeting will be held at the M-WERC Energy Innovation Center in Milwaukee.
Getting to Zero National Forum
Tuesday, April 17, 2018 to Thursday, April 19, 2018Three days of tours, workshops, networking, interactive sessions and thought leadership about the growing trend toward zero energy (ZE) buildings. Luminaries in this field will set the stage with a vision for the future of the built environment. Policymakers and practitioners will highlight the strategies for catalyzing a transformation to ZE performance.
International Biomass Conference & Expo
Monday, April 16, 2018 to Wednesday, April 18, 2018The International Biomass Conference & Expo connects current and future producers of biomass-derived power, fuels, and chemicals with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. More than 120 exhibitors are expected at the conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
MREA Online Course: Basic Photovoltaics
Monday, April 16, 2018 to Sunday, May 13, 2018This self-paced, online course uses a combination of presentations, assignments, quizzes, and webinars to teach the basics of solar electricity. Participants will learn how photovoltaic (PV) systems work, compare and contrast different PV system types, identify necessary components, and understand the best applications for (and limitations of) each system type. Other topics include evaluating the solar window, investigating energy efficiency recommendations, and researching system costs.
International Biomass Conference: Live Stream
Monday, April 16, 2018 to Wednesday, April 18, 2018The International Biomass Conference & Expo connects current and future producers of biomass-derived power, fuels, and chemicals with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. For those unable to attend the conference in Atlanta, Live GotoWebinar streams of entire topic tracks and pre-conference sessions are available for purchase. Available tracks/sessions include:
Biomass Carbonization and Torrefaction Summit
Biomass Preparation, Handling & Storage Workshop
Track 1: Pellets & Densified Biomass
Track 2: Biomass Power & Thermal
Track 3: Biogas & Waste-to-Energy
Track 4: Advanced Biofuels & Biobased Chemicals
UW Engineering Professional Development Course: The Commissioning Process for Delivering Quality Constructed Projects
Monday, April 16, 2018 to Wednesday, April 18, 2018This practical course will show you why the Commissioning Process (CxP) provides consistent, cost-effective, and successful delivery of new buildings and constructed projects, and enhances productivity of existing buildings. You will learn how to implement an effective and successful quality design and construction approach that incorporates the commissioning process, and learn why the commissioning process is ideal for innovative buildings, new systems, and complex facilities.
UW-Madison Engineering Professional Development Course: National Electrical Code
Monday, April 16, 2018 to Wednesday, April 18, 2018This course is designed to help you work safely and more efficiently by applying the 2017 National Electrical Code to your daily work. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to design electrical systems that are code-compliant, keeping in mind the liabilities associated with noncompliance. The course also touches on how the NEC is organized, changes from previous editions, requirements for new and existing installations, “how to design” information for electrical systems, and valuable information on how the NEC relates to other standards.
