Join Adam Buick, Program Coordinator of Seattle Community Power Works (CPW) for discussion on how the diverse and foward-thinking city of Seattle is helping its residents save energy. CPW is a neighborhood program in central and southeast Seattle that will make energy efficiency improvements to buildings in six sectors: single-family, multi-family, small commercial, large commercial, hospital and municipal sectors. To drive demand for these retrofits, Seattle is implementing and testing a variety of innovative strategies ranging from creation of a Carbon Reduction Incentive Fund that will reward proptery owners for every ton of carbon reduced to developing a flexible service model that will provide homeowners with a specific level of energy consultation suiting their needs.

The Southeast Community Retrofit Ramp-Up Consortium is a partnership established to create or expand building energy efficiency improvement programs in 13 communities across 8 states and territory. The Consortium is led by the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance (SEEA) which is the primary recipient of a $20M BetterBuildings grant from the US Department of Energy to improve 10,000 buildings units by June 2013. SEEA is uniquely employing a pay-for-performance approach to allocations to sub-recipients, and supporting customized programs designed to reflect local communities in an effort to identify and develop models best suited for the region.Please join us for a conversation with Tamara Jones, Director of the SEEA who will provide an overview of the program designs and early lessons from the 13 participating communities.

The Town of University Park, MD is implementing the Small Town Energy Program for University Park (STEP-UP), a 3-year project with the goal of reducing total energy use in the town by 20%. Initial results are extremely promising: since the program launch less than two months ago, more than 10% of the town has taken the first steps towards energy efficiency by signing up for a Home Performance with Energy Star home audit. Join Mayor John Tabori and STEP-UP PI Chuck Wilson as they discuss the rigorous logic model and unique program design that they hope will serve as a road map for other towns to embark on similar transformative efficiency programs.
