Congratulations to Climate Mayors on launching their new commitment to electrify 50% of all city fleets by 2030 and to increase EV charging infrastructure across U.S cities by at least 500%. By working to #Electrify50, we will see reduced carbon emissions, more sustainable jobs, and healthier communities. With the U.S. transportation sector accounting for 29% of total emissions nationwide, achieving U.S. and global climate goals will require a transition to efficient electric transportation. Cities must be at the forefront of accelerating the transition to cleaner and greener vehicles and #ClimateMayors are leading the way. Learn more about #Electrify50: https://lnkd.in/eXZVhd4h

Our Residential Retrofits for Energy Equity (#R2E2) initiative is teaming up with @ENERGYSTAR for a series of deep-dive workshops designed to support community-based organizations, small businesses, and local governments in deploying equitable, efficient electric home upgrades. Our upcoming workshop on August 20 will explore how we can use the newly released R2E2 playbook to design equitable home energy upgrade programs. The workshop will also have interactive group time so participants can ask practical questions about real programs and get answers from the experts themselves. Learn more and register⤵️

The future of energy requires that we focus on more than just efficiency. It requires us to decarbonize, to center energy justice, and bring diverse decision-makers to the table to enact change. This week I’m honored to learn from energy leaders as a Linda Latham Scholar at the #SummerStudy24 by the The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). I’m proud to stand alongside the incredible scholars who are joining this work to drive the policy, behavioral, and technical change we need to address climate change and build a sustainable future. What an inspiration it has been to see just how powerful collaboration can be when federal, state, industry, non-profit, and academic leaders join forces towards a common goal. ⚡️🌎 #EnergyJustice #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition #ClimateChange #ACEEE

We have record attendance here at #SummerStudy24! Some great insights have been shared as we reach the halfway point, with much more content in the sessions ahead. Our new Buildings Director, Matt Malinowski, shares his excitement:

Greetings from the third full day of The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings! It's great to be back on the beach in Asilomar, California to learn about and discuss the latest in building decarbonization. This is my fourth Summer Study and the first since joining ACEEE as the new Buildings Director. In this role, I'll be working with my Buildings Program colleagues to halve the energy consumption of US buildings and supply the rest from clean, renewable energy sources. We are doing this through: 🏗 Bringing up the performance of new construction though building codes, 🏢 Retrofitting and electrifying millions of existing buildings, 💲 All while addressing workforce and affordability challenges. To inform this work, I have been attending sessions on building energy storage, which allows homes and businesses to be powered by renewables, even when the wind's not blowing and the sun's not shining. Meanwhile, my colleagues have been attending and leading sessions on codes, building performance standards, and linking efficiency and resilience, among others. Together, we have also been meeting with partners, with whom we hope to develop the next generation of projects. I hope you're similarly inspired and excited to build on everything we're learning this week. I would love to hear about it, so please don't hesitate to get in touch to share or to discuss ACEEE's work and how we can collaborate to advance efficiency in buildings!

It's been a fantastic week with my favorite energy efficiency wonks at The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Summer Study conference. I'm particularly energized by the sessions on equity and workforce development. Investing in workers and giving them high quality jobs leads to better energy outcomes and economic prosperity for all. Let's get to work so we don't "go down in history as the society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost-effective", as Kurt Vonnegut warned.

The 23rd biennial Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings is underway at the Asilomar Hotel and Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, CA! Summer Study’s theme this year is Equity and Climate Action: Time to Deliver. Just before the last Summer Study got underway in August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), an unprecedented investment to transform the energy sector to be safer and healthier, reduce carbon emissions, and prioritize the needs of underserved communities. The federal government and states are working now to implement the IRA to bring the benefits of energy efficiency to communities across America. Now is the time to take advantage of this critical moment in history and identify the innovations that will deliver climate justice through deep emissions reductions in our buildings. With the climate crisis becoming more urgent and critical by the day, our work is more important than ever. The Rhodium Group estimates that U.S. greenhouse gas emissions increased by 1.3% in 2022. While emissions from the electric power sector are down, outside that sector, emissions increased slightly. The most significant increase was direct emissions from buildings, which rose by 6% – the only sector to rebound to pre-pandemic levels. Summer Study serves as a platform to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and drive innovation in energy efficiency. By bringing together experts, policymakers, and stakeholders, we can develop and implement the solutions necessary to tackle the climate crisis. Through our collective efforts, we can ensure that buildings are energy efficient and resilient while meeting the needs of all communities, especially those that have been historically underserved.
