SUMMARY:2025 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry
DESCRIPTION:THEME: INDUSTRIAL COMPETITIVENESS\, DECARBONIZATION\, AND THE ENERGY TRANSITION\nThe industrial sector accounts for one third of the U.S. primary energy use\, so the energy transition presents enormous opportunities and risks for this sector. Industrial competitiveness is going to depend on continued investments in innovation\, efficiency\, and decarbonization. \n\nResearch and development have always been a national strength. The transition also requires innovation in business models across the energy spectrum.\nLawrence Berkeley National Lab estimates that only 50% of industrial energy is used productively – leading to an enormous waste of resources. Cost reduction through efficiency is a proven pathway to profitability.\nOur trading partners are creating low-carbon standards\, while continuing their own journeys of electrification combined with reductions in embodied carbon.\n\nHow do you take advantage of the opportunity and minimize the risk? How does your network support you? The 2025 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry brings together professionals from around the globe to Charlotte\, North Carolina – ground zero for recent industrial investment\, accompanied by a statewide commitment to carbon neutrality in the electricity sector by the year 2050. We will look at policies\, funding\, operations\, and technology to sustain industrial competitiveness\, for individual firms and the sector at large. We’ll ask how public-private partnerships can act now to develop the workforce we need for success. We’ll compare national and state policy to look for immediate advantage and long-term leverage. \nYou’ll leave the Summer Study with an expanded network and an action plan to meet your goals.

SUMMARY:Enclosure in Detail
DESCRIPTION:Event Description \nPassive House is an enclosure-first approach that empowers architectural design to drive comfort\, resilience\, health\, and efficiency outcomes. The Passive House enclosure is fundamental to overall building performance optimization. We’ll look at the elements of high-performance enclosure design and construction\, the order of priorities\, the strategies\, systems\, components\, and details required. From cold to hot and humid climates\, and across different construction types and building scales\, we’ll look at how to deliver predictable results. \nLearning Objectives \n\nOutline the priorities of enclosure performance.\nDescribe major principles in enclosure design and optimization.\nOutline the systems\, components\, details\, and strategies for successful Passive House enclosures.\nDescribe strategies and steps to ensure the final built enclosure is successful.

SUMMARY:Heat Illness\, California Regulations and the Kitchen of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Course description\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an ONLINE class being offered via GoTo Webinar. \nIf you would like to attend this class IN-PERSON at the Food Service Technology Center in Pleasanton\, CA click HERE. \nBy enrolling in this course\, you agree to receive text message course reminders. Upon receiving your first message you will have the option to opt out by replying “STOP”. \nThis class covers two different commercial kitchen challenges: high heat environments and the many kitchen water wasters that can be readily fixed. The first half explains the newly adopted CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations. These regulations are meant to protect kitchen workers but they also apply to equipment service professionals who might be working in those kitchens. Learn the details of these new regulations\, how to help operators lower kitchen temperatures\, and how to come into compliance with these laws. Likewise\, new California laws require that all water utilities follow strict conservation guidelines in both dry and wet years – which could impact water costs. The second half of the class provides training on how to spot and mitigate common water-wasting leaks and wasteful operating practices in kitchens and dish rooms.
