SUMMARY:CELC/Lights Out\, Texas Webinar - The Case for Lights Out: Conservation and Energy Efficiency Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Lights Out is a simple\, practical action that can help protect migrating birds while reducing unnecessary energy use. This introductory webinar will launch a partnership between Texas Audubon and the South-central Partnership for Energy Efficiency as a Resource (SPEER)\, bringing together conservation and energy-efficiency perspectives. \nChloe Crumley\, Audubon Texas Public Affairs and Engagement Manager with the National Audubon Society\, and Shaun Marie Auckland\, Senior Manager of Government and Community Engagement at SPEER\, will discuss the connection between bird conservation\, energy efficiency\, and collaborative action through the Lights Out campaign. \nParticipants will learn why nighttime lighting poses risks to migrating birds\, how reducing unnecessary lighting can support energy-efficiency goals\, and how businesses\, building owners\, institutions\, and communities can take meaningful action. Together\, Texas Audubon and SPEER will highlight opportunities to create safer skies\, more efficient buildings\, and stronger conservation partnerships. \n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Texas Energy Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:SPEER is proud to be a promotional partner for this year’s Texas Energy Summit for what’s sure to be another fantastic event. \nThis year’s Summit will be held at the Texas Capitol building & REJ Building in Austin October 26-28\, 2026. The event convenes thought leaders from across the state to explore Texas’ unique energy landscape with a deep focus on emissions reduction\, energy efficiency\, and clean energy technologies. The Texas Energy Summit is hosted by the Energy Systems Laboratory at the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station. \nThe Summit\, now in its 23rd year\, has long emphasized the importance of energy management\, with special attention on the public sector\, and it focuses on developing real solutions to advance air quality\, energy efficiency and environmental responsibility across the state. This year’s agenda will explore major trends in policy\, technology and the grid\, markets\, and social implications of our changing energy system. \n\nTweet

SUMMARY:SPEER Codes Webinar - Energy Code Horror Stories: The Scary Things Hiding Behind the Walls
DESCRIPTION:Some of the scariest building performance problems are the ones you can’t see! Join SPEER for a special October webinar as we uncover real-world energy code violations\, hidden construction defects\, and installation mistakes that can haunt buildings long after construction is complete. \nFrom missing insulation and poorly sealed building envelopes to leaky ductwork\, improper HVAC installations\, and ventilation nightmares\, we’ll explore the common mistakes that compromise energy efficiency\, occupant comfort\, indoor air quality\, and building durability. Through real-world examples\, inspection photos\, and references to the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)\, attendees will learn how to recognize these hidden problems\, understand their consequences\, and identify practical solutions. \nWhether you’re a building official\, inspector\, builder\, contractor\, or energy professional\, this interactive webinar will provide valuable insights into preventing costly mistakes and ensuring energy code compliance before these problems disappear behind the drywall. Don’t let energy code horror stories come back to haunt your buildings! \nLessons Learned: \n\nIdentify Hidden Energy Code Violations – Recognize common insulation\, air sealing\, ductwork\, and HVAC installation deficiencies that often go unnoticed during construction.\nUnderstand the Impact of Poor Installation Practices – Learn how seemingly minor construction mistakes can affect energy efficiency\, occupant comfort\, indoor air quality\, and building durability.\nPrevent Problems Before They Become Costly – Discover practical inspection techniques\, testing methods\, and IECC requirements that help identify and correct deficiencies before they’re concealed behind walls and ceilings.\n\n\nTweet
