SUMMARY:Pro Tour Of Net Zero Energy Retrofit And Expansion Of A 1782 Vermont Farmhouse
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Summer Pro Tour of an under construction\, zero-energy retrofit of a 1782 Vermont Farmhouse\, plus a high performance addition\, in beautiful Reading\, Vermont. Attendees of this tour will learn about the process of retrofitting a historic building\, and the strategies employed for the addition (built off-site)\, to create a net zero energy building with reduced embodied carbon. \nOur event will begin with an opening presentation from the hosting team\, which will give attendees background on the original structure\, the design and build of the addition\, and the overall approach to meeting client sustainability goals.  After the opening presentation\, we’ll split into groups to hear from the professionals behind the project\, who will share their specific work. After the tour\, we’ll host a reception and Q&A with the team.  \nThis 4181 sq. ft. square-foot building features updated hydronics\, appliances\, an air-water heat pump\, EV charging\, whose energy use is balanced via on-site photovoltaic electrical generation. Heating\, cooling\, and domestic hot water will be supplied by a single air to water heat pump. The choice of hydronics\, combined with the dramatic increase in thermal performance of the original structure\, allows for the reuse of radiators in the original house. The projected annual electrical load is met by the on-site\, grid-tied\, ground-mounted PV system. The building was designed to blend into its rural setting\, connect the living spaces to the surrounding landscape\, and serve the diverse programming needs of the clients: aging in place\, family gatherings\, and hosting groups ranging from 10-40+ people for community-building events and smaller retreat experiences. \nIn order to make the retrofit possible\, significant repairs were performed to make the building structurally sound and also square\, level\, and plumb from the exterior. Materials were carefully selected to reduce the embodied carbon of the new construction\, including 6-inch concrete stem walls\, slag concrete\, and a slabless floor system. Using cellulose insulation allowed the builders to take advantage of its thermal\, hygroscopic\, and carbon-sequestering properties. By being careful during the deconstruction of the house and attached breezeway\, a lot of the existing historic interior was repurposed\, including original interior doors\, large hand-hewn beams\, barn board\, framing\, and flooring. \nIf you are interested in projects that emphasize reusing materials\, ways to reduce concrete\, retrofitting very old structures\, complex multidisciplinary residential projects\, and blending on and off-site construction\, then this is the Pro Tour for you.

SUMMARY:Connecticut’s Roadmap for Collaborating on Advancing Offshore Wind
DESCRIPTION:A must-attend event\, the EBC 5th Annual Connecticut Offshore Wind Program presents experts in the offshore wind energy industry responsible for advancing Connecticut’s offshore wind industry with sustainable and equitable growth in 2024. \nIn 2022\, Governor Lamont signed two historic bills into law to fully decarbonize Connecticut’s electric sector and expand existing renewable energy programs. Through these actions\, all electricity supplied to customers in Connecticut is required to come from zero-carbon sources by 2040. By 2030\, the State has also pledged to reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions to at least 45% below 2001 levels; by 2050\, these emissions are required to be 80% below 2001 levels. \nTo help advance these zero-carbon electricity goals\, a Connecticut Offshore Wind Strategic Roadmap was completed in October 2023. This Roadmap outlines the state’s commitments to offshore wind energy as well as its strategy for expansion. Connecticut’s focus on regional collaboration\, state offshore wind policies supportive of federal policies and financial incentives for developers in the Inflation Reduction Act\, and strategic port infrastructure investment has positioned the state as a key player in the offshore wind industry in the United States. Also in 2023\, the State Pier Terminal in New London became the first active East Coast offshore wind hub and marshaling terminal with unobstructed access to the ocean\, as staging and assembly operations began for the first of three Ørsted and Eversource projects commissioned by Connecticut\, New York\, and Rhode Island. The U.S. offshore wind industry is larger than any one state\, learn how Connecticut is committed to collaborating with partners at all levels: locally with underserved communities on workforce development\, regionally with Maine\, Massachusetts\, New Hampshire\, Rhode Island\, and Vermont; nationally; and globally. \nSustainable and equitable growth of Connecticut’s offshore wind economy focuses on four strategic pillars: Infrastructure & Real Estate\, Supply Chain\, Workforce\, and Research & Development. To implement these tactics\, the state launched the Connecticut Wind Collaborative (CWC)\, a new public-private organization focused on advancing the offshore wind industry in Connecticut in 2024. In March 2024\, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) received proposals from four project developers under its multistate Request for Proposals with Massachusetts and Rhode Island. \nWith so much going on both within Connecticut and regionally\, the annual EBC Connecticut Offshore Wind Conference is required viewing for offshore wind professionals seeking to put all the puzzle pieces together. Speakers will report on progress of the multistate offshore wind procurement\, port development and operations\, grid improvements\, environmental permitting\, and collaborative strategies underway in 2024 to advance the Connecticut and U.S. offshore wind industry. \nGeneral Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (4.0 training contact hours). Certificates are automatically provided via email link for registered attendees at the conclusion of the program.
