It’s a hot topic with questions soon to be answered in the post-election fall-out: What is the energy outlook for the next Administration and Congress? Can we expect another monumental energy act to continue the deeds of EISA 2007? When will we see substantial growth in the ‘green collar’ workforce? What role will technology play in new energy policies? And – important to the Alliance to Save Energy and its allies – how and when will the government ‘ramp up’ its energy efficiency programs, which currently receive only about $3-4 billion a year? Brian Castelli, Executive VP of Programs and Development at the Alliance addressed these topics and others at his September 18th presentation to an audience at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Penn., entitled Energy in the New Administration: The Integration and Synthesis of Policy, Technology & Innovation.

Unleashing commercial-scale renewable energy with feed-in tariffsClean Coalition
Feed-in tariffs (FITs) are vital and cost-effective market mechanisms for unleashing commercial-scale renewable energy. The latest innovations in FIT design also unleash energy storage to enable fully dispatchable renewable energy, meaning that the renewable energy is available whenever a utility or other load-serving entity wants it, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. The Clean Coalition recently designed FITs for multiple load-serving entities in California. Craig Lewis presented on the state-of-the-art in FITs that unleash commercial-scale renewables by applying streamlined market mechanisms and navigating regulatory constraints to yield the most cost-effective renewable energy available at commercial-scale.
A presentation on several key drivers impacting the green building construction market. Highlights include regulations, legislation and incentives affecting designers, contractors and building owners. The presentation has been given publicly several times in 2009 and 2010.
Growing regulatory complexity, aging infrastructure, and increased outsourcing are driving demand for industrial services and special waste management. Merger and acquisition activity is gaining momentum as market participants look to achieve cost advantages through scale, with strategic acquisitions offering diversification into complementary service areas and geographic markets.
The July 2016 edition of the Environmental Services Insider documents key operating issues, consolidation trends, and market forces that are impacting growth, supported by findings from a widely responded to survey and interviews with leading executives and investors in the sector. “Refineries and chemical plants are facing more stringent regulation, and maintenance costs have climbed sharply. That is creating opportunities for the industrial cleaning market,” commented Andrew DeBusk, CEO of DeBusk Services Group, a participant in the report. “Oil and gas has a growing need for technical field services. It is a market segment under intense regulatory pressure,” added Ed Genovese, Chief Executive Officer of TAS Environmental Services, another report participant. Sustainability initiatives and tightening regulatory requirements are governing higher standards for waste management. “Today there is a lot more thought around decision trees for waste management,” Genovese said. “When there are opportunities for reuse or reclamation outside of incineration or landfill, it creates opportunities for companies like ours.” Companies are increasingly turning to experts to manage field service work, stimulating demand for industrial cleaning and in-plant opportunities to manage waste and logistics on-site.
The competitive landscape remains highly fragmented, and consolidation is accelerating. Seventy-five percent of respondents in the BGL survey anticipate a high level of acquisitions over the next five years, and nearly two-thirds expect to be buyers as the industry undergoes further consolidation. Industry maturation is a force behind consolidation as participants look to realize cost savings and synergies to remain competitive. www.bglco.com

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

Editor's Notes
In large cities with significant public transportation, buildings typically account for 70% or more of CO2 emissions and energy usage.There are two types of policies that regulate energy consumption in buildings: building codes, and energy performance policy.
This view is a little simplified, but in general, building codes touch the building at initial construction and then again during renovation. Energy Performance Policy complements traditional building codes by focusing on the operational phase of the building lifecycle.
Early Studies have been helpful, more research needed
NewYork City: Properties over 50,000 SF account for ~2% of building stock by number, but 50% of floor area.
