SUMMARY:Enhancing Your Energy Projects with Incentives and Rebates
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Sustainable Energy Fund \nUtilities and other state agencies offer energy incentive programs and rebates to make energy efficiency more affordable. In Pennsylvania\, the Public Utility Commission implements Act 129\, which aids businesses and electric utilities to achieve reduced energy consumption and peak electric demand. \nSpecifics vary from program to program but often include incentives for HVAC systems\, water heaters\, building insulation\, appliances\, CHP\, Solar PV\, and lighting. Companies are eligible to apply for rebates and incentives to offset costs of eligible improvements of energy efficiency or renewable energy projects. Energy efficiency and reducing energy-related expenses can help a company’s bottom line. \nDuring this webinar\, representatives will discuss financial incentives for Pennsylvania commercial and industrial customers in the PECO and PPL utility territories.

SUMMARY:Preparing Your Community for Solar Development: the SolSmart Program and Technical Assistance
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resources Center \nLocal governments have tremendous influence over the prospects for\, and shape of\, solar energy growth. The solar industry is a leading source of American job creation and attracting solar investment in your community is a great way to promote economic development and new jobs. Solar resources are inherently local and can benefit the community directly as energy sources.  However\, solar development – from the rooftop to the solar farm – presents both opportunity and risk to the community. Many communities are poorly equipped to navigate the issues of local solar development. The national SolSmart program (funded by the U.S. Department of Energy) offers free technical assistance to communities for navigating risks and capturing opportunities as the solar industry ramps up. This workshop will describe the burgeoning market for solar energy and solar development\, the components of ensuring your community is “solar-ready” to both capture benefits and minimize risks\, and the solar-ready certification process and technical assistance opportunities.  Water quality and watershed issues will be addressed.

SUMMARY:Large-scale Solar Development: Water Quality Risk\, or Green Infrastructure? The PV-SMaRT Project
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resource Center \nSolar energy is now the least expensive form of electric energy generation in world.  Consequently\, the market for solar energy projects is surging\, with large-scale projects being proposed in every state in the nation.  Large-scale PV solar projects\, in particular\, present unique and uncertain risks and opportunities to water quality and watershed functions.  The U.S. Department of Energy funded the Photovoltaic Stormwater Management Research and Testing (PV-SMaRT) project to evaluate water quality impacts of large-scale solar development.  The study will create solar-specific runoff coefficients that consider type of ground cover\, soil type\, hydrology\, slope\, and solar array design based on field testing across the nation and 3-D modeling. The project will also engage permit jurisdictions (authorities having jurisdiction\, AHJs)\, from local to federal\, to disseminate the findings and identify permitting best practices to make permitting transparent and predictable and improve water quality outcomes in our nation’s surface waters. One potential implication of the study is understanding the conditions under which conversion of agricultural or disturbed land to solar development with appropriate ground cover could meet green infrastructure goals of improving water quality outcomes within impaired watersheds.

SUMMARY:DISCOVER x UNTITLED OPEN TALKS
DESCRIPTION:Provided by UNTITLED \nThis talk will feature Democratic Society (Demsoc)\, a non-profit based in Brussels with offices across Europe. Demsoc works to create a democracy that works for everyone. This includes democratizing climate action and involving people in the transition to a just\, resilient climate future. Because Climate Action enables us a future and Democracy allows it to be a future for all. Their Climate Programme has been working with over 14 cities across Europe\, collaborating with governments at all levels\, citizen-led initiatives\, funders\, researchers\, and other nonprofits to achieve climate resilience through democratic means\, what DemSoc terms ‘climate democracy’. This talk will highlight DemSoc’s fresh findings on working with change-hesitant cities. Hesitancy or resistance must be only part of the journey\, not the end\, and it is important to find ways to mobilize action even in settings that are hesitant to act. In such settings\, Strategies for a Networked Approach can catalyze and sustain ongoing shifts toward climate democracy.

SUMMARY:Metrics that Matter: Evaluating Green Stormwater Infrastructure Performance
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resources Center \nGreen stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is being implemented with greater and greater frequency throughout the country in order to meet water quality goals\, enhance our communities\, improve climate change resiliency\, and even reduce costs. It is considered an important tool for communities addressing source reduction\, particularly under the recent municipal consent orders distributed to communities by the Allegheny County Health Department and PA Department of Environmental Protection. But how do owners and/or operators know if the GSI is doing what it was designed to do? During this session\, stormwater program managers\, governments\, community organizations\, and even design professionals will learn methods for assessing the effectiveness of GSI and the complexities and compromises that should be considered when performing an assessment of installed GSI practices. To that end\, this presentation will explore the “metrics that matter” for every stage of a GSI project\, from initial site planning to design methodologies to construction phase evaluations and ultimately to postconstruction performance monitoring. The goal is to provide municipal and design communities with a practical framework of the available and emerging resources and tools necessary to deliver GSI projects that will pass the test of time\, especially in an increasingly complex social environment and in a changing climate.

SUMMARY:2022 Nature of Place Symposium\, "The Voice of Change"
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens \nThis year\, our symposium theme is “metamorphosis.” One of the largest obstacles in our human response to environmental issues like climate change has nothing to do with technology\, knowledge\, or intelligence: it’s human behavior and mindset. We often fear change\, struggle to authentically communicate with those around us\, and feel like we lack the tools to influence decision makers. With all of this in mind\, the goal of Nature of Place: The Voice of Change is to help us connect to our communities\, reconnect with the natural world\, and catalyze real and lasting change towards climate action and an equitable green future.
