SUMMARY:Webinars: The Building Owner’s Blueprint for Savings
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nMaine is navigating rising energy costs across the board. Residential and commercial electricity rates are being driven up by high wholesale prices\, grid infrastructure costs\, and storm recovery expenses. Natural gas and other fuels used for heat and power generation also remain at elevated prices\, creating sustained pressure on operational budgets and competitiveness.  \nJoin the City of Portland’s FREE two-part webinar series to understand both advanced onsite energy solutions and data-driven efficiency strategies that can help you reduce future energy costs. \nWEBINAR:  TAP into Onsite Energy and Efficiency Maine Programs – November 19th at 11:00am\nIs your facility looking to enhance reliability and lower energy costs? Join us for an online discussion with technical assistance providers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Onsite Energy Program and Efficiency Maine. \nIn this webinar you will: \nLearn how to leverage free regionally tailored technical support to help you evaluate\, select\, and install onsite energy technologies at your industrial\, manufacturing\, or large energy user location.  We can help you evaluate all available technologies – including combined heat and power (CHP)\, thermal storage\, electricity storage\, and solar energy.  \nLearn about Efficiency Maine’s distributed generation and demand management incentive programs available to businesses\, manufacturers and other non residential facilities. This program can compensate you for reducing your energy usage when the electrical grid is under strain. \n– \nWEBINAR: Free Tools to Predict and Prioritize Your Biggest Energy Savings – November 20th at 11:00am\nStop guessing where to save! Join us for a technical deep-dive into the Building Efficiency Targeting Tool for Energy Retrofits (BETTER) Reports. Using existing benchmarking data\, the tool enables building operators to quickly and easily identify the most cost-saving energy efficiency measures in buildings and portfolios. A BETTER Report can quantify the energy savings\, cost reductions\, and payback periods of the improvements it recommends. Use this free tool before conducting expensive site visits. Our speaker Claire Rabbit\, Energy and Climate Analyst at ClearlyEnergy\, will walk you through how to use this tool to transform your building and portfolio data into actionable first steps.  \nClaire will also showcase another tool\, BEAM’s Enhanced Building Owner Portal. This tool helps you better understand your building’s current energy performance through detailed visualizations\, see what Portland program administrators see\, and identify data flags and warnings to help you comply with the policy.
