Executive Order 14057 sets aggressive Federal goals, including “net-zero emissions building portfolio by 2045, including a 50 percent emissions reduction by 2032.” What can we do now to enhance Federal buildings and prepare for the challenges of the future? Clean energy procurement, on-site clean energy generation (i.e., wind and solar energy, geothermal, biofuels, etc.), and on-site energy storage - these are some of the practices you can implement today. This training session will include Industry and Federal government representatives discussing clean energy building electrification projects successfully deployed, and how those experiences can help plan for the future.
