VEIC

Get ready, Bay State EV buyers – a new education campaign is coming soon! VEIC is excited to be working with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Green Path Strategies to bring everyone in Massachusetts the resources they need to make buying an EV easier than ever.   Here’s what folks can expect: 🚗 Custom information hubs for residential customers, businesses, and dealerships 🔌 Equity-driven content addressing barriers to adoption for under-represented EV buyers   💻 Easy access to model options, costs, available incentives, tax credit details, and more   Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eZUkMvtf

The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund is ready for deployment, but do awardees have the resources to make it work? VEIC’s Managing Consulting, Becky Schaaf shares her thoughts on what organizations need to prioritize to bring the $27 billion promise of equitable clean energy to life for their communities.   Read the full piece now on Latitude Media and let us know your thoughts in the comments below! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e9PBqwfR

📢 The future of energy efficiency lies in retrofitting our homes! 🏠 To meet climate goals by 2050, we need to retrofit roughly 90% of existing housing. This massive task brings a significant opportunity for advanced building construction techniques, making homes cleaner and construction methods more efficient. Our new report, funded by the DOE's Advanced Building Construction Collaborative, provides a detailed state-by-state analysis and pathways to reduce pollution from US homes by 2050. We found that out of 125 million US homes: 🔹 60% need energy retrofits with envelope improvements equipment upgrades. 🔹 32% require only high-efficiency, all-electric equipment replacements and minor updates. 🔹 8% are already aligned with climate goals. 🔹 10 million new homes expected by 2023 can benefit from industrialized construction for cost-effective, climate-aligned builds. ⬇ Download the report: https://bit.ly/3RTeYaY Thank you to our partners U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, ADL Ventures, VEIC, AEA, Phius, and key authors from PNNL, LBNL, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory. #ClimateAction #SustainableLiving #Retrofitting #EnergyEfficiency

Congratulations to Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and all other awardees on this accomplishment! VEIC is proud to support MassCEC in this award-winning work.

For Pride month, VEIC is honoring the LGBTQIA community's contributions to the global fight against climate change. We recognize that collective liberation, whether it is from oppression, life-threatening extreme heat, or unmanageable energy costs, is the path forward for a sustainable future. Thank you to our LGBTQIA employees and partners for their labor in achieving this shared goal 🌍 🏳️🌈 Check out these organizations at the intersection of LGBTQ rights and climate justice: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdrRpk97 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gkJBD4N 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ee27JFaH Let's continue to work together for a sustainable and just future for all.

How can we take climate funds further? With $400b in federal funding toward incentives, grants, and loan guarantees, the IRA directly supports the transformation of our energy system while providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reduce carbon emissions across every sector of American life.

Case studies presented by leading manufacturers, about commercial and industrial applications of natural refrigerants. ❄ (Refrigeration Case Studies - Part 3) 🔸 John Collins P.E., Director of Industrial Sales, Zero Zone said, “We have successfully proven that #transcriticalCO2 meets the industrial sector’s needs in warm climates with 2 Genesys CO2 package systems using adiabatic cooling and multistage compression successfully installed and operating in an Arkansas processing facility requiring 400TR of rack storage at −10°F.” 🔸 jonathan tan, EMBA, Co-Founder, Ratio Institute said, “No financial model makes sense to use a synthetic refrigerant on greenfield sites or gut remodels.” 🔸 John Barnes, Senior Engineering Consultant, VEIC said, “We estimate a two-year payback period for using RIVACOLD #propane packages compared to an R134a split system and a six-year payback period compared to R448A based on the #energysavings extrapolated from a month of data in three Vermont sites and usage of the Efficiency Vermont Incentive.” 🔸 Amrit Robbins, Co-Founder, Axiom Cloud said, “Our AI-based automatic leak detection services detected 32 #HFC leaks in 115 Sprouts stores in California from April to December 2023, saving an average of 259lbs per leak and avoided two potential emergency cooling outages that would have been otherwise undetected.” #GoNatRefs #ATMOAmerica #NaturalRefrigerants #Refrigeration   Scott Ercole, P.E., Michael Garry

This week, two VEICers will be presenting and facilitating at the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) Summit 2024. Rebecca Foster, VEIC CEO, will facilitate the curated panel "The Rebate Debate: State Playbooks for Maxing Out IRA Rebates". The states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic represent varied building stocks, fuel mixes, demographics, grid plans, and more. In this session, representatives from three different states will share how they have designed their IRA, HER, and HEAR programs. https://lnkd.in/edmQZg5u Gleniss V. Brown Wade, M.A., Workforce Development Program Manager, DCSEU will be presenting at the session "Level Up: How Inclusive Talent Strategies Unlock Unstoppable Growth". Workforce development is a critical component of successful market transformation strategies. Speakers will offer insights from multiple perspectives about what makes a successful workforce development program. https://lnkd.in/ebj66A_V https://lnkd.in/eskjh_zS
