You ready for a heated exchange of seriously cool information? Our “Power Exchange” monthly blog is now live and sparking discussion on all things #geothermal heating and cooling. This first edition focuses on harnessing the power of #geothermalenergy for major U.S. city buildings that account for over 70% of GHG emissions. With #decarbonization ordinances declared for buildings in all these city centers, we are highlighting the tax credits and financial incentives to #electrify with #Subterra’s geothermal utility offering. We’re your one-stop outlet for information about #geoexchange systems and energy-as-a-service. Also – don’t forget to register for our webinar on April 9th at 11 a.m. ET.

Guiding principles for Marine Spatial Planning With offshore wind scaling up rapidly in the UK ocean, demand for sea-space is increasing. At the same time, there is more evidence than ever before that the ocean is near an ecological tipping point, with marine species in sharp decline. Wildlife and Countryside Link's Marine Strategy Group is working on policy proposals to reconcile these two drivers of marine policy. In November, the Group published ‘Guiding principles for marine spatial planning’, setting out how a reformed system of marine planning could deliver both more renewable energy at sea and meaningfully protect more of the ocean for nature. You can read the full story and see the full set of Guiding Principles here: https://lnkd.in/eNGvuwVt #MarineSpatialPlanning #MSP #OffshoreWind

Implementing the recommendations put forth by the Massachusetts Commission on Energy Infrastructure Siting and Permitting is key to helping the Commonwealth realize its clean energy goals. As both Catherine Finneran and William Hinkle note, Eversource Energy's enhanced approach for meaningful community engagement leads to fewer conflicts and a quicker process to meet growing energy needs for all our customers, especially in environmental justice communities. #sitingreform #cleanenergyfuture #environmentaljustice https://lnkd.in/eDcyS-z3

Great that states can be recognized for the significant efforts being made in across the country. Glad that my homestate of #Vermont has been recognized but also several of the states that I have had the pleasure of working with on efforts to decarbonize and reduce #VMT while supporting a shift toward electrification. Some of my relevant minor contributions - Mass80x50, NYS Clean Transportation Roadmap, Oregon Transportation Plan, Burlington Net Zero Energy Plan, and a current effort for Mass EEA on DCFC planning. https://lnkd.in/eH5zKwBC

The Future of Distributed Energy Systems! Join BOMA International as they discuss the importance of becoming a #netzerobuilding 🏢

If you missed it, here is a recording of today's Maryland Climate Solutions Now Act webinar. If you're responsible for a 35,000 SF (or larger) building in MD, then we need to talk about your energy and GHG strategy. https://lnkd.in/eq-r9Fq8 #climatepolicy #climateaction #climateeducation #climatejobs #climatefinance #beps #energyefficiency #energyengineering #energyaudit #greenbuilding #greenenergy #greenhousegas #greenengineering #greenenergysolutions #greenconstruction #energymodeling #ira

Thanks Rajesh Dixit for sharing your experience with large heat pumps. It will be a vital tool for accelerating the decarbonization of cities, communities and campuses. #sustainablecities. #netzero International District Energy Association

The more I research building industry climate initiatives being undertaken in Europe and North America, the clearer it becomes that Aotearoa is getting further behind. For example, here are the step changes in building energy demand for some selected Members States of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Note their significant progress in driving energy efficiency threshold for buildings over the last two decades. https://lnkd.in/gVg3nCuQ We've got some catching up to do.
