Making your facility more energy efficient will save you money in utility bills - and help the environment too.
But making your building more energy efficient can require significant capital investment.
How can you get the funds to make the changes you need to - especially if you're required to conform to new efficiency standards? With so many technology vendors knocking on your doors peddling their new products, how can you make an informed decision on how to move forward with the smartest, most proven retrofit projects?
Get the answers - and learn about green jobs training programs - in this presentation from CrunchEnergy!
Energy Efficiency – Good for the World’s Economy; Good for the Nation’s Econo...Alliance To Save Energy
States awaiting stimulus funds will be pleased to know that when it comes to funding energy efficiency programs, their dollars will go far. Drastically reduced energy consumption and immediate job growth are just some of the benefits that effective policies and programs can bring, particularly to the Appalachian region, which has the highest energy consumption in the country. Kateri Callahan presented these findings to the annual Charlotte Regional Partnership Investors Board in Charlotte, N.C., where already progressive energy efficiency policies and programs are taking root. Callahan also briefed the audience of investors and board members on the climate and energy bills moving through Congress.
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Congress (But Were Afraid to Ask)Alliance To Save Energy
On October 8, Executive VP of Programs and Development Brian Castelli addressed attendants of the Plumbing Manufactures Institute at their 2008 Fall Meeting in Arlington, Va. His presentation Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Congress (But Were Afraid to Ask) gives a straight-forward analysis of the how’s and why’s of policymaking, particularly as they pertain to energy legislation. Castelli also offered a prescient energy policy outlook, and called attention to the interdependence of water and energy consumption.
With new funds in the pipeline and a new administration at the helm, communities nationwide are looking for ways to align their strategies for development with the tone and tenor of Washington. In order to help counties better understand the new mechanisms for addressing their energy needs, Brian spoke to NACo’s Energy Subcommittee about the opportunities for clean energy activities in the 2009 American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). He outlined the main recipients of ARRA funding for energy efficiency (which include state energy offices and local governments), as well as how those funds will be allocated, how interested organizations should apply for those funds, and what activities are eligible for funding.
The 2009 American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) promises substantial funding for energy efficiency programs – to the tune of $26 billion – and many in the business of energy efficiency such as TAC are looking for ways to access its funding. In order to educate its employees and partners on the impact of the ARRA, TAC presented an educational webinar in which Callahan addressed the stimulus package, the Obama administration's impact on energy policies, and the role TAC can play in delivering energy related projects.

Energy Efficiency and Economic Recovery: Stimulus Funding OpportunitiesAlliance To Save Energy
February 2. 2009 -- Policy makers and others have come to understand the power of energy efficiency implementation as an economic development tool and stimulus. The result is likely billions in clean energy investments by the federal government that will be utilized by state and local governments, non-profit energy organizations, and others. In her presentation, Kateri focused on the efforts of the Alliance to Save Energy and others to grow energy efficiency implementation programs – buildings, products, and services – and deliver greater economic vitality to the nation.
Recovery Through Retrofit identified homeowners’ lack of access to information, financing and skilled workers as the key barriers that have prevented a strong nationwide home energy retrofitmarket from growing.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

5. Agenda Introduction American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 Path of Recovery Funds from Federal Government to Local Level Marketers & Brokers Green Jobs Energy Audits Ways to Save Energy Conclusion Questions
6. Introduction During the current Administration there is a constant drum beat of 'green' jobs, jobs, jobs, and more jobs while addressing the consequences of violent climate change Over one US$1 trillion has been invested of tax payer money by the American government to support the domestic economy to reduce the loss of jobs while over 15,000,000 Americans remain jobless Violent weather events are projected to increase domestically and overseas The costs of fossil fuels will continue to increase and have a negative drag on American and global markets
7. Introduction In Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland Region over $313 million in Federal stimulus funds have been allocated for energy audits, energy efficiency retrofits, and weatherization projects among other green construction projects At last report from the Federal government less than eight percent [8%] of these funds have been allocated and directed to the intended purposes
8. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Four immediate goals: Create new jobs and save existing ones Spur economic activity and invest in long-term sustainable growth Reduce the dependence on fossil fuels while increasing alternative energy sources Foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending
9. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 The Recovery Act intends to achieve those goals by: Providing $288 billion in tax cuts and benefitsfor millions of working families and businesses Increasing federal funds for education and health care as well as entitlement programs (e.g., extending unemployment benefits) by $224 billion Making $275 billion available for federal contracts, grants and loans Requiring recipients of Recovery funds to report quarterly on how they are using the money
10. Path of Recovery Funds from the Federal Government to the Local Level Congress appropriates Recovery Act funds to federal agencies Federal agencies make funds available to state and local governments or directly to academia, businesses, and organizations Federal agencies also provide entitlements and tax credits covered by Recovery Act to create new ‘green’ jobs while saving more traditional ones
11. Path of Recovery Funds from the Federal Government to the Local Level State and local governments make Recovery funds available for contracts and grants to academia, businesses, and organizations. State agencies also administer Recovery funds for unemployment compensation As academia, businesses, and organizations receive funds directly from a federal agency these are expected to make new hires or save existing employees as needed for the project
12. Path of Recovery Funds from the Federal Government to the Local Level

26. The Green Jobs / Green New York Act (A8901 / S5888), which passed both the New York Assembly and Senate, could be a model for other states The legislation sets the goal of implementing energy efficient retrofits in one million buildings over the next five years and creating approximately 14,000 family-sustaining jobs Efficiency measures help combat climate change, produce cost savings across the economy, reduce pressures on the electrical grid and provide public health benefits Green Jobs
27. Green Jobs The program will be funded with revenue raised by the auction of carbon emission credits through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI , aka “Reggie“) The bill allocates $112 million from these auctions to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). These funds will be used to leverage private and federal investments
28. Green Jobs NYSERDA will establish a revolving loan program to provide up to $13,000 per residential customer to retrofit a home, and up to $26,000 to retrofit each qualifying business Target: Energy usage will be reduced by 30-40% In partnership with the NY Department of Labor, NYSERDA will also create workforce training programs throughout the state
29. Energy Audits Certified Energy Auditor “Whole Structure“ Assessment The assessment is an energy and safety evaluation of the home or business facility that includes a visual inspection of lighting, appliances, equipment, as well as performance testing of the ventilation and mechanical systems, building tightness, and insulation levels that will result in a scope of work outlining recommended energy efficiency improvements
30. Energy Audits An energy audit is the examination of your building’s energy usage, loss, heat gains, and the potential for the reduction in energy consumption Loss from waste Inefficiencies Bad conservation Aging appliances and equipment Faulty insulation and/or building materials Wear/age of the facility Potential for the production of alternative energy
31. Energy Audits Increasing your building’s energy efficiency can make it More comfortable More durable Reduce electric, gas, and heating oil expenses Reduce insurance costs Reduce maintenance costs Increase profit margins A healthier environment for staff/tenants Energy efficiency means doing more with less energy
