April Webinar: Combined Heat and Power at Different Scales
In the last decades, CHP has been successfully deployed in many critical infrastructure buildings such as hospitals, schools, hotels, water and wastewater treatment plants. There is still more than 148 GW of technical potential for new CHP across all sectors in the U.S., and much of this potential is found in critical infrastructure. The Department of Energy’s Southcentral CHP Technical Assistance Partnership (CHP TAP), will be leading a webinar on the opportunities and applications of CHP in cities at all scales: from districts to individual buildings. The potential of CHP applications to improve resilience and reduce environmental impacts in a cost-effective way will be discussed through existing CHP facilities successfully operating critical facilities for the cities that host them.

Webinar: Managing 3D Printer Emissions For Occupant Safety And Health
Years of research prove that designing, operating, and managing our buildings with a focus on good indoor air quality results not only in healthy, productive building occupants but also in protected property investments and reputation. As new technologies emerge, they may bring unintended consequences for human health. Therefore, researchers at Chemical Insights, an Institute of Underwriters Laboratories, completed a multi-year study with Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) on the impact of 3D printer emissions on indoor air quality (IAQ). This webinar will make the case for prioritizing IAQ, reveal what Chemical Insights and Georgia Tech’s research found about the impact of operating 3D printers on indoor air quality and most importantly, focus on what you can do to best mitigate the unintended consequences associated with this exciting, innovative technology. Finally, the webinar will explore common real-life scenarios in order to evaluate which mitigation strategy is most effective, practical, and safe. Join to hear trusted experts share their unique scientific knowledge and apply it to your practice right away. October 20, 2020 at 2 pm ET Speakers: Dr. Marilyn Black and Dr. P. Barry Ryan

April 2020 Webinar -- Better Buildings: Smart Energy Analytics
Commercial buildings are full of hidden energy savings potential, and facility managers and building owners are now reaping the cost-saving benefits of data analytics through the use of Energy Management and Information Systems (EMIS). The Smart Energy Analytics Campaign program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy through the Better Buildings Initiative and managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) encouraged the use of a wide variety of commercially available EMIS technologies and ongoing monitoring practices to help uncover those energy-saving opportunities and improve building performance. IFMA was an organizing partner in the original design of the campaign and contributed to the outreach plan to target building owners and operators. Based on the article appearing in the Mar-Apr Facilities Management Journal, join us for an in-depth look at the analytics behind energy use and how to find those hidden savings. Noon – 1 PM (CDT)
