sustainability leaders. Across organizations and around the country, teams
adjusted system schedules, enacted shutdown protocols, and even began
discussions on the future of their building utilization and portfolio makeup.
Whatever comes next, it is fair to say the future of energy management looks
remarkably different.  

In this webinar, we’ll review the findings from our State of Energy Management
report, in which more than 240 professionals representing multiple industries
provided their insights and perspectives on several key topics including:  

 * The impact of COVID-19 on building occupancy and usage  
 * Top priorities for energy and sustainability programs  
 * Why time and money are still big barriers to implementing an EMIS

 2020 ENERGY INDUSTRY REVIEW AND 2021 FORECAST

   Presented on 12/9/20

2020 has been a year riddled with challenges. As the world emerges from
collective lockdown and slowly fights its way back to normalcy, US electric
markets stand at a crossroads.  As we look forward to 2021, the path to recovery
and further progress will be shaped by the events of 2020. Governments will
continue to prioritize public health and economic stabilization, but must also
help utilities manage the consequences of significantly reduced electric
consumption stemming from lockdowns. 

Simultaneously, all stakeholders will grapple with the question of how to
prepare for a seemingly new level of intensity for natural disasters. Finally,
states that have been driving increasingly aggressive renewable energy targets
may be joined by a renewed federal effort in the wake of the 2020 election. 

In this webinar, our expert analysts will discuss the trends they are watching
after a year of unprecedented crises, and the steps businesses can take to
prepare for the challenges ahead: 

 * The impacts of COVID-19 on utilities, and the potential impact to their
   customers
 * Wildfires, storms, and the entwined crises of climate change and resiliency
 * State-level action on renewable targets, and the prospect of new federal
   goals

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY COST SAVINGS & INDEPENDENCE WITH DERS

   Presented on 12/2/20

Distributed Energy Resources are helping large power users reduce energy costs,
improve resiliency, and achieve sustainability goals. But an exclusive Smart
Energy Decisions survey reveals that a significant percentage see DERs as out of
reach because of capital costs. Others simply don’t know how to choose from
among the proliferation of DER choices.

Attend this important webinar to learn how to overcome these obstacles and
realize the benefits of DERs. Webinar attendees will learn:

 * Why large capital investments are not required to secure DERs
 * How you can achieve energy cost savings with DERs
 * Real-life DER experiences from Mohawk Industries and NRG
 * Why DER buyers experience ‘choice paralysis’ and how to overcome it

During the webinar, Scott Bargerstock, Senior Manager, Global Energy -Demand at
Mohawk Industries, and Doug Sansom, Managing Director, Distributed Energy
Resources at NRG Energy will share their direct experience with DERs and answer
questions from the audience.

 NO CAPITAL NEEDED: A GUIDE TO NO-COST ENERGY PROJECTS

   Presented on 10/28/20

 

Distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar panels, battery storage systems
and backup generators offer major benefits to large commercial and industrial
energy consumers. They can help businesses reduce energy costs and earn more
revenue through market programs, incentive payments, and more.  

Many organizations lack the capital to invest in DERs upfront—but that does not
mean they cannot pursue a successful, revenue-generating project.

This webinar will show the wide variety of no-cost energy projects available,
and will discuss:

 * The business case for distributed energy resources
 * Financing opportunities for solutions like energy storage and solar
 * How new automation maximized the ROI of these assets

SAFETY FIRST! DISINFECTANT UV LIGHTING SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS



   Presented on 09/30/20

 

 

There’s no denying the major impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on
nearly every aspect of our lives. To mitigate the rapid spread of the virus,
businesses are turning to the use of ultraviolet lighting for safer
environments. Unlike chemical sprays administered by employees or cleaning
crews, disinfectant UV lighting technologies offer an effective, convenient and
consistent approach to inactivating COVID-19 and other pathogens upwards of
99.9%.

A proven germicidal technology used for decades in HVAC and hospital
disinfection solutions, new UV applications, and products are being rapidly
developed to address the public health issues presented by the current pandemic.

In this webinar from EMC, you’ll learn about:

 * The types of UV, their properties, and how they work
 * UVGI technology available today and in the future

WHAT'S THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP? 

          Presented  on 09/10/20

It is critical for energy executives to understand and derive the true Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) for their energy infrastructure before making investment
decisions. Even as the impact of COVID-19 and shrinking business margins could
discourage investment, innovation will create more value through developing new
products and services &a
