The document discusses Schenectady, New York's efforts to become more energy efficient and sustainable with support from NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) over several years. It outlines the steps taken, including an energy services contract, forming committees, funding received for various energy projects, and plans to continue expanding initiatives like LED streetlights and electric vehicles. NYSERDA has played a key role in providing incentives, funding, and expertise to help Schenectady reduce energy use and costs across city operations and the community.
Light and heat from the sun is the most abundant energy source on earth.The solar energy that hits our planet’s surface in one hour is about equal to the amount of energy consumed by all human activities in a year. Moreover, electricity generated by solar power is emission-free and can help mitigate climate change as well as reduce our dependence on finite carbon-based energy sources.
ABB offers a range of solutions that not just help capture the sun’s rays in the most effective manner but also help achieve grid parity.

The Acceleration of Net Zero (2016-11-08)Derek Satnik
The CHBA (Canadian Home Builders' Association) is supporting industry innovation and helping enable the industry to build net-zero energy homes. This presentation summarizes the status of the Canadian housing industry and the CHBA's efforts.
Trends in Green Kitchens and Green BuildingsDerek Satnik
The green building industry is one of the hottest right now. Construction has always been a major contributor to the economy, and Canada is adding enough new buildings every year that over 1,000 kilotons of new emissions are added to the building sector's footprint - compounded every year. The same market in the US adds almost 10 times more. This is obviously a problem.
The Green Building sector is making a significant impact at reversing this trend. Mindscape's partners are leading the way: our latest projects are pursuing net-zero, cost effectively. LEED Platinum is not only affordable, but it's making money for the building owners. Green material costs are continually becoming more competitive as suppliers adapt to the requirements of green building programs. There are brighter days ahead.
