SUMMARY:SPEER Energy Codes Webinar - Beyond the Data Center: Building the Community around Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:Data centers are among the most efficient buildings ever constructed\, yet they are frequently located in rural communities with limited resources for energy code enforcement\, plan review\, inspections\, and workforce development. As these facilities attract rapid residential and commercial growth\, hundreds of surrounding buildings—including homes\, apartments\, schools\, hotels\, restaurants\, warehouses\, and public facilities—may be constructed without the same focus on energy performance. \nThis session explores how expanding the sustainability conversation beyond the data center creates lasting environmental\, economic\, and community benefits. Participants will examine why investments in energy code implementation\, commissioning\, third-party verification\, inspector training\, and regional technical capacity can produce decades of reduced energy consumption\, improved grid resilience\, and lower infrastructure costs. The presentation also compares the marginal efficiency gains achieved inside highly optimized data centers with the much larger cumulative opportunity represented by surrounding community development. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nRecognize the hidden energy impacts of development surrounding large data centers.\nIdentify practical strategies for strengthening local capacity through training\, plan review\, inspections\, and public-private investment.\nExplore how coordinated community development supports long-term energy efficiency\, resilient infrastructure\, and sustainable economic growth.\n\n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Powering the Transition: Building Texas' Clean Energy Workforce
DESCRIPTION:CleanTX and SPEER are convening a joint luncheon and workshop in Dallas on the workforce behind the energy transition. As electrification\, demand response\, renewable energy development\, and data center growth accelerate across Texas\, the constraint increasingly isn’t technology or capital\, it’s people. \nThis session brings together educators\, contractors\, and industry to talk candidly about how we’re building the talent pipeline: the training and credentialing programs preparing workers today\, the apprenticeship and labor standards attached to federally supported projects\, and the gaps that still need closing. We’re keeping the format conversational and the panel practical\, with plenty of room for audience discussion. \nSpeakers:\n– Kurt Stogdill\, Program Director of APTIM\n– Stephen Pape\, Interim Vice Provost\, Dallas College-School of Manufacturing & Industrial Technology\n– Nicholas Morgan\, President\, Adaptive Construction Solutions \nSponsored by: Bradley \nLearn more and register here. \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
