SUMMARY:EBC Webinar: Climate Resiliency Funding in 2025: Updates\, Challenges\, and Creative Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This EBC Climate Change Webinar will provide timely updates on federal and state funding programs previously presented in October 2024. Recent legal and legislative developments have limited access to available climate resources at the federal level. States\, regions\, and communities are increasingly allocating resources to fight climate change and develop resiliency-related funding sources to proactively adapt to expected climate impacts. As climate events continue to become more frequent and severe\, where does this leave us now? \nThis webinar will explore creative and emerging funding strategies\, including case studies and insights from both former federal staff and regional leaders. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how states like Massachusetts and Maine\, alongside private and philanthropic partners\, are mobilizing resources to advance climate adaptation and resiliency initiatives. \nA robust audience Q&A will conclude the webinar.

SUMMARY:NESEA: BuildingEnergy NYC 2025
DESCRIPTION:NESEA’s BuildingEnergy NYC conference and trade show is a chance to immerse yourself in a full day of networking and intensive learning with your peers from the fields of design\, construction\, engineering\, policy\, finance\, and beyond. This unique event is designed by and for our community of practitioners\, ensuring that the content is useful\, relevant\, and on the leading edge. Conference sessions present best practices and lessons learned based on real case studies and proven data\, as well as showcasing innovative technologies and programs. If you are a building sustainability professional in any stage of your career\, please join us on Thursday\, October 16 at Convene 237 Park Avenue in New York City! \nConference Theme: Action and Adaptation\nThe NESEA community has always been a force for courageous\, innovative change. The climate movement in the United States is at a pivotal moment this year\, with federal government actions likely to slow or even reverse progress toward established targets. At the same time\, we are facing the rising frequency and severity of extreme weather events—uprooting people’s lives and costing billions of dollars annually. In this new climate reality and complex policy environment\, it is more important than ever for us to find creative ways to adapt and move forward with confidence\, and to design buildings that will continue to perform at the highest level while withstanding these changing conditions. \nThe 2025 BuildingEnergy NYC conference will focus on how those of us in the building industries can continue to take effective action by incorporating resilience\, adaptation\, and mitigation strategies towards large-scale climate goals\, while navigating an environment where regulatory and funding structures are unpredictable. We all must think critically and innovatively about the approaches that are feasible to continue driving impact in an uncertain national landscape\, as well as how design and policy considerations themselves can look toward the future and center climate adaptation. \nWho Attends\nBuildingEnergy NYC attendees are leaders and emerging professionals from across the Northeast\, committed to developing a more sustainable\, healthy\, and resilient built environment. They represent a wide range of industries\, backgrounds\, and levels of experience.

SUMMARY:SWEP-CT: Lunch-and-Learn: CT DEEP Data Quality Assessment/Data Usability Evaluation (DQA/DUE) Basics
DESCRIPTION:Please join SWEP for a meeting with Veronica “Roni” Tanguay\, an Environmental Analyst at the CT DEEP.  Roni leads the DEEP QA/QC workgroup\, consisting of both environmental and laboratory professionals. Together\, they developed and provided a day-long training course to EPOC in May 2025. Workgroup members will serve as a panel for discussion and questions. \nWorkgroup members: \n\nTina Clemmey  Ensafe\nRebecca Merz – Phoenix Environmental Laboratories\, Inc.\nJeffrey Smith – Complete Environmental Testing\, Inc.\nKevin Vanderveer – CT DEEP\nChristina Venable – Loureiro Engineering\n\nDuring this lunch-and-learn\, DEEP will be presenting an abbreviated version of this training including: \n\nA review of the general concept of ensuring high data quality starting from initial investigation planning to field activities\, and finally\, to investigation reporting to DEEP.\nA review of the steps to conduct both the DQA and DUE.\n\nEnvironmental investigations conducted for the purpose of remediation activities require the use of laboratory analyses performed on environmental media to determine if remediation is needed. Because of the nature of environmental media\, limitations of analytical methods\, characteristics of analytes\, and human error\, the results of environmental analyses may contain an element of uncertainty and\, in some cases\, may be significantly biased. Therefore\, some analytical data may not be representative of the actual concentrations of the analytes in the environmental media. Evaluation of the quality of the analytical data in relation to its intended use is important\, and necessary\, for the environmental professional to make informed decisions that are supported by data of known and sufficient quality. \nEvaluation of data quality consists of a two-step process. The first step consists of an assessment of data quality. The second step is an evaluation to determine whether the data can be used to support the decisions that will be made using that data. Together these steps are referred to as Data Quality Assessment and Data Usability Evaluation. \nData Quality Assessment consists of the identification and summary of quality control non-conformances identified in the laboratory narrative provided to the data user. Data Usability Evaluation consists of the process to determine whether the data can be used to support the decisions that will be made using the acquired data. \nThis is an interactive program and there will be plenty of time for questions and answers. \nNon-members are invited to join the program as well for a registration fee of $15.
