Acknowledging the many benefits of energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) programs, many Midwestern utilities are looking to scale up and re-tool their EE & DR programs in the coming years to best meet this capacity challenge and maintain reliability and affordability throughout our transition to a cleaner grid.

This webinar will focus on the critical role that real estate professionals play in advancing market transformation toward energy efficiency. It will examine how real estate agents act as curators of consumer education during the home-buying and selling process, bridging knowledge gaps around high-performing home features and promoting demand for energy-efficient properties.

The North American Gas Heat Pump Collaborative (NAGHPC) will provide an overview of both commercial and residential gas heat pumps (GHPs) in the North American market, including a technology and market update. The presentation will also discuss GHP pilot projects throughout the U.S. and Canada, with a particular focus on FortisBC's pilots.

Identifying energy efficiency measures while balancing real-world constraints such as project budgets and time constraints poses challenges to any project team. This presentation will show how teams can leverage utility-sponsored Demand Side Management (DSM) programs to evaluate current and emerging technologies using energy modeling early in design to help inform the decision-making process.

Energy codes like the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) may offer multiple pathways to achieve compliance. While important in providing flexibility in construction methods and costs, the complexity of these options can be confusing. This webinar will focus on the Energy Rating Index (ERI) performance path of the 2021 and 2024 IECC, comparing it to the other pathways and detailing benefits and nuances. Learn how compliance measures differ between the 2021 and 2024 IECC and what the builder, designer and code official need to know to comply and enforce.

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have been incorporated into many energy grids across the United States providing assistance to an already strained energy grid. Regulations and policy can dictate how effective VPPs can be. Join us in this webinar to understand what the drivers and barriers in the Midwest are for VPPs, and how scalable and replicable it is in the region, taking lessons learned from other parts of the country.
