SUMMARY:NESEA: BuildingEnergy Boston Conference
DESCRIPTION:BuildingEnergy Boston is a conference designed by and for practitioners in the fields of high-performance building and design\, energy efficiency\, and renewable energy. It brings more than 1\,000 industry leaders and emerging professionals together to learn from and share ideas with each other. Sessions are curated by a volunteer NESEA-Member content committee to ensure that conference sessions are genuinely useful to attendees. The conference will feature product demonstrations\, networking events\, and accredited sessions that offer best practices and lessons learned\, case studies and proven data\, technical “how-to”s\, emerging technologies\, and innovative policies and programs. \nConference Theme: Don’t Stop Us Now!\nThose of us committed to sustainability in our field have built a robust movement\, and now is the time to prove that our momentum cannot be stopped by indecision\, injustice\, or inaction. Despite new barriers to progress\, our industry continues to adapt to uncertainty. Our personal and professional resilience is being tested\, and we will only move forward by supporting and learning from one another. \nWe have all had to adapt to hardships of some kind\, be it project setbacks\, discrimination\, or a lack of resources. There are millions of questions we’re all asking during these tumultuous times\, and we don’t have to answer them alone. \nHow can my team address a sudden loss in funding or increase in project costs? \nWhat do you do to stay grounded when everything seems to be working against you? \nHow can we succeed in reducing both operational and embodied carbon emissions? \nHow do you get a key decision maker to move forward on the more sustainable choice? \nThese questions demand strong responses and bold action. At this year’s conference\, we will be digging into ways to surmount these barriers and find the path forward. \n\nWho Attends\nBuildingEnergy Boston 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:EBC: Sticker Shock: Why Water & Wastewater Project Costs Rise Over Time – and What to Do About It
DESCRIPTION:Water and wastewater infrastructure across the country is aging rapidly\, with the need for repairs and upgrades far outpacing the pace of implementation. In the 1970’s\, understanding the need for a nationwide investment in infrastructure\, the federal government subsidized the construction of new water and wastewater infrastructure. That infrastructure has now reached its  end-of-useful life and repairs and upgrades are necessary\, but communities face that cost without federal support. Beyond that significant challenge\, communities in New England also continue to struggle with upgrading centuries old wastewater infrastructure like combined sewers that contribute to water quality issues in receiving waters during rainfall events that trigger combined sewer overflows (CSOs).  Add to that increased regulatory demand of stormwater permitting\, stricter pollutant limits on nutrients\, and the great regulatory unknown of emerging contaminants like PFAS and you suddenly have communities and districts facing billions of dollars and a long-term capital crisis. \nWhile funding programs exist\, securing adequate funding remains one of the greatest challenges facing utilities and municipalities today. Compounding this challenge is the fact that funding decisions are often based on early-stage\, conceptual engineering cost estimates. As projects move through design\, costs frequently escalate—sometimes dramatically—due to market conditions\, contractor availability\, evolving project scopes\, regulatory requirements\, and design refinements. These increases strain project budgets and erode confidence between engineers and their clients\, as well as between utilities and the communities they serve. \nThis EBC Water Resources Committee webinar will explore the many infrastructure and regulatory demands facing communities as well as the drivers of cost escalation during the design process\, including inflation and price volatility\, construction market constraints\, design changes\, and scope additions. While price escalation cannot always be avoided\, engineers and project teams can take proactive steps to better anticipate and communicate these changes. \nAttendees will learn strategies for improving cost transparency\, setting realistic expectations\, and strengthening trust throughout the design and funding process\, helping mitigate the impacts of escalating project costs and maintain confidence among all stakeholders. \nGeneral Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (2.0 training contact hours). Certificates are automatically provided via email link for registered attendees at the conclusion of the webinar. \nSpeaker Agenda:\nSetting the Stage – “Story of New Bedford” \n\nShawn Syde\, PE\, City Engineer\, New Bedford\n\nPermitting & Community Costs – How Regulations Increase Costs \n\nFredric P. Andes\, Partner\, Barnes & Thornburg\n\nWhat Can We Do About Changes in Project Costs Over Time? \n\nBrian Maksymetz\, P. Eng.\, Collaborative Delivery Portfolio Manager\, Jacobs\n\nModerated Discussion \nProgram Chairs:\n\nAndrea Braga\, PE\, CPESC\, Chair\, EBC Water Resources Committee; Principal Engineer | New England Water Department Leader\, Jacobs\nKorrin Petersen\, Of Counsel\, Bowditch\n\nAdditional information can be found under the tabs above.

SUMMARY:RENEW Northeast's High Voltage\, High Stakes: Why Electric Transmission is Critical to Affordability and Reliability
DESCRIPTION:Join RENEW Northeast and energy thought leaders for an afternoon on the urgent and necessary steps to build the transmission foundation for the next era of clean energy. \nMeeting rising electricity demand and achieving New England states’ energy policy objectives depends on enhancing and modernizing the power grid. New transmission lines are needed to connect new and existing generation in remote areas to New England consumers.  Enhanced connections in neighboring regions must be built to better balance variable supply and demand and share resources during extreme weather and peak demand periods. \nDiscussions will be guided by a new RENEW transmission white paper being released in advance of event. \nSpace is limited. Ticket sales close on Thursday\, June 4th at noon or when capacity is met. Check more details of the event here.
