In this webinar our panelists will discuss:

The pollutants of natural gas combustion and what they do to the human body.
Current research exposing the harms of natural gas use indoors.
Which natural gas burning appliances emit the most pollution.
How ventilation impacts indoor air quality and health risks.
Strategies to reduce indoor pollution and associated risks

Next Generation Passive Solar
2025-09-23 09:30 - 11:00 | Online
Event Description
We all learned the principles of passive solar design in school – south facing orientation, strategic windows, thermal mass, etc., but the old rules don’t apply in the same way. Modern buildings should still incorporate passive strategies, including daylight and ventilation, but they need a new spin on the implementation to account for improved insulation, prevalence of high-performance glazing, and efficient HVAC systems and lighting.
Learning Objectives

Review passive thermal design strategies including basic climate analysis and guidelines for orientation, fenestration and thermal mass.
Understand current science relating to the impacts of daylight and views on occupant health and learn best practices for right-sizing windows and skylights, managing glare and selecting appropriate visible light transmittance.
Learn strategies to develop an integrated system for ventilation, optimizing passive systems (operable windows and skylights, stack effect, cross ventilation) with mechanical systems
Review a case study to integrate passive thermal design with a high-performance envelope.

Energy Management Systems (EMS) with HVAC Controls (2 Part Series)
2025-09-23 09:30 - 11:30 | Online
Series Description

Part 1 of 2 – September 23, 2025 (9:30am – 11:30am)
Part 2 of 2 – September 24, 2025 (9:30am – 11:30am)

Getting the most energy savings out of your HVAC requires building systems to be capable of adjustment, such as variable speed drives or demand limiting, as opposed to simple on/off control. However, these strategies often add a higher level of complexity making it more challenging to keep persistent energy savings over time. Energy Management Systems and Analytics are often offered as a solution to this problem. This course will provide a deep dive exploration of the reality of energy management systems and how they are not a one-size-fits all system and how each one needs its own requirements and parameters for success.

The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:

Identify key differences between building management systems (BMS) and energy management systems (EMS)
Review fundamental EMS qualities, controls, and techniques appropriate for different users, audiences, and end goals
Explore key performance indicators and strategies dashboard configurations
Evaluate effective EMS implementation, current product availability and successful case studies in new and retrofit projects
