Plug and process loads refer to energy used by equipment plugged into an outlet. In minimally code-compliant office buildings\, plug loads may account for up to 25% of total energy consumption. But plug loads may account for more than 50% of the total energy consumption in highly-efficient buildings. This presentation will focus on the lessons learned by HARC optimizing and managing its plug load consumption to minimize costs and decarbonize building operations. \nSpeaker: Carlos Gamarra\, HARC Sr. Research Scientist in Clean Energy Technology at the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) \nRegister Here \n\nTweet URL:https://eepartnership.org/events/celc-webinar-plug-loads-management-for-commercial-buildings/ CATEGORIES:Local Governments END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230711T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230711T133000 DTSTAMP:20260419T053806 CREATED:20230501T164425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230601T210257Z UID:40279-1689078600-1689082200@eepartnership.org SUMMARY:CELC Webinar: ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) & South Central Cohort Information Session DESCRIPTION:CELC webinars are intended to extend the conversation about public sector energy management best practices through education\, training\, and discussion.

We've Been Doing this for 39 years (Rerun) DESCRIPTION:Sometimes all you need to know is how they did it in the past to do it right today. When it comes to HVAC installation\, nothing could be further from the truth. “That is the way I’ve always done it” is not a good reason to keep doing it that way. Better thermal envelopes\, known infiltration and duct leakage\, more sophisticated equipment as well as a variety of other factors make it more important than ever to install code-compliant HVAC systems. Unfortunately\, code-compliant HVAC is the exception rather than the rule. Code Officials must step up and demand properly designed and installed HVAC systems.
