"A lot of work has been done to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, including the installation of advanced lighting, HVAC and airflow systems, as well as building envelope technologies and integrated building and energy management systems. Many companies have been reaping the benefits of these new technologies and approaches and are looking for ways to build on this success and take their energy efficiency and clean power efforts to the next levels.

Prospect Silicon Valley, Carnegie Mellon University’s Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division, and the Northern California chapter of the US Green Buildings Council are sponsoring this event to discuss technologies under development and how these hardware and software solutions can be deployed in pilots or limited deployments to demonstrate their ability to have a material impact on energy performance or clean power generation and consumption in the built environment.

Location TBD
$10, lunch provided

"The City and County of San Francisco, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), and the California Fuel Cell Partnership will be hosting two regional briefings in January on fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and hydrogen fueling station development. These briefings are intended for elected officials, as well as planning, safety and code officials and staff, and NGOs.

State and local agency representatives, automaker representatives, hydrogen fueling station developers, and hydrogen fuel producers and distributors will provide an overview of what is happening with FCEVs (including passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses) and the growing hydrogen fueling network in California and beyond.

One briefing will be held in San Jose, and the other in San Francisco, each on separate dates. The San Jose briefing will also feature a ride and drive, where attendees will get the opportunity to test drive three different FCEVs from Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai."

"We need to keep 100% of all fossil fuel reserves in the ground to prevent escalating and uncontrollable climate disruption. Big Oil and their cronies in the President's administration and Congress are concentrating their efforts on increasing coal, oil and gas production and derailing the EPA's power plant emissions regulations. This is a critical time for grassroots resistance to thwart their plans.  Join us to discuss what we can do on these and other issues."

The event will be held at Specialty's Cafe located in Sunnyvale, CA

"2017 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and critical years in state history for climate legislation!  

California is leading the way for the rest of the country. Silicon Valley area legislators will play a key role in the coming months, and with our new allies in the CA State Assembly and Senate, there is much we can accomplish. The Republicans want to see us fail, but we need to demonstrate that you can have an economy that is both strong AND green. The earlier passage of AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act, provides the tools for a sharp reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.  Now, it is up to each of us to make it happen!"

The event will be held at the Peninsula Conservation Center in Palo Alto.
