Webinar: Opportunities in Decarbonizing Buildings through Controls and Electrification

Today’s buildings use 74% of our nation’s electricity and account for 35% of our carbon emissions. The associated costs to occupants and the country are enormous. In the future buildings will be affordable, carbon-free, comfortable, and healthy. This exciting vision for the building sector relies on marketing products for increased electrification of building loads and for state-of-the-art building controls.

Join us as Dr. Karma Sawyer, Director of the Electricity Infrastructure & Buildings Division at PNNL, discusses innovative approaches to controlling and optimizing smart, electric devices in buildings in coordination with the grid and distributed energy resources. These will facilitate the decarbonization of the power grid while ensuring resilience and reliability.

Dr. Sawyer will also discuss opportunities related to technology transfer and user facilities at U.S. Department of Energy National Labs, including Pacific Northwest National Lab and others.
