Energy Benchmarking for Multi-family Buildings: Save Time, Energy and Money
The Burlington Electric Department and the Burlington 2030 District hosted this energy benchmarking training with a multi-famly focus on Wednesday, November 9 from 12-1:15pm EST.
Ithaca 2030 District Partners will hear about new funding and incentives available for clean energy upgrades to commercial buildings at the next quarterly meeting on Wednesday, September 21 at 4:30-6 pm.
June 1st was the deadline for Buildings greater than 100,000 square feet to submit a benchmarking report to the City of Ann Arbor.
If you have not submitted a report or need help, you can apply for a 60 day extension or an exemption! Email benchmarking@a2gov.org to request an extension and a list of the buildings to be covered by the extension.
Taitem Engineering, The GreyEdge Group, and Aztech Geothermal have partnered with HeatSmart Tompkins and City of Ithaca stakeholders to undertake the first community-scale geothermal heat pump system as part of the Ithaca Green New Deal initiative to transition the entire city to carbon neutrality by 2030.
Achieving the goal of carbon neutrality requires that all available local renewable energy sources must be tapped for heating, cooling, thermal storage, electric power generation and storage, and vehicle charging energy services.
Since the last quarterly meeting in December, five new buildings have joined the Ithaca 2030 District, adding just over 55,000 square feet of committed space.
Two of the new additions, Lev Kitchen and the ReUse MegaCenter, are participants in the recently established tenant program. This program makes it possible for businesses that don't own the building they operate in to become members. Tenant members commit to the same 2030 goals as the property owner members.
John Guttridge, along with his business partner David Kuckuk, has forged an innovative path on the west side of the Commons, breathing new life into West State/MLK and Green Streets. Their company, Urban Core, LLC, has provided an exciting example of how to transform old structures into fresh-looking, low-carbon buildings that help create a vibrant neighborhood.
Urban Core now has four buildings committed to the Ithaca 2030 District: Press Bay Alley, Press Bay Court, the old Ithaca Journal building, and 120 S. Cayuga St.
Reminder to building owners and managers in the City of Ann Arbor. If you have covered properties that are over 100,000 sq. ft, you have to summit their Energy and Water Benchmarking Report by June 1st of 2022.
The U.S. Green Building Council of West Michigan (USGBC-WM) applauds the City of Grand Rapids for prioritizing the built environment and human health impacts of carbon. The City recently announced that they are committed to the exploration of inclusive building performance standards. They will do this through policies and programs focused on carbon reductions and healthier building operations.
Details About How Commercial Building Owners Can Benefit Will Be Discussed
