SUMMARY:TIEEN Webinar: Legislative and Regulatory Developments in Texas Impacting Energy Production\, Efficiency\, and Use
DESCRIPTION:The next TIEEN collaborative webinar will take place Tuesday\, October 17\, 2023\, 2:00-3:30 pm (Central). This will be a panel discussion on the topic of Legislative and Regulatory Developments in Texas Impacting Energy Production\, Efficiency\, and Use. The recent Texas legislative session included several bills with significant potential impacts on both deployment of renewables and energy efficiency. For example\, Senate Bill 624 would have created a new layer of state approval for all new wind and solar farms\, making projects much more difficult and costly to implement. Meanwhile\, Senate Bill 258\, which would have increased energy savings goals for utilities\, was left pending in committee. Furthermore\, operators are getting mixed signals from Federal and State governments. This makes it difficult to manage their operations\, and especially difficult to plan for new projects. Experts and market participants will share their insights in TIEEN’s engaging online panel discussion. We invite you to join us at this thought-provoking event\, as we grapple with this challenging topic. PDH certificates are available. Learn more and register here. \n\n\nPANELISTS\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nDoug Lewin\, Founder\, Stoic Energy; Executive Director\, Texas Energy Summit \nDoug Lewin authors the Texas Energy and Power Newsletter and hosts the Texas Power Podcast with Renewable Energy World.

SUMMARY:Proper Insulation Installation and why it matters to the energy model
DESCRIPTION:Energy models are constructed to ensure adherence to the energy code. They assess the proposed elements against a hypothetical (referenced) structure that meets basic code requirements. Beyond mechanical systems\, a significant shortcoming in energy models often lies in the reduction of insulation effectiveness\, attributed to substandard installation methods. We’ll examine various field images and delve into the nuances of insulation grading. We’ll also explore how Grades 1\, 2\, and 3 are defined\, the criteria for their determination\, and the impact each grade has on the overall energy model. \nRegister here. \n\nTweet
