SUMMARY:Earth Day 2022: Energy Storage Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:What stands between us and a world powered entirely by sunshine and wind? The answer is batteries–also known as “energy storage.” Celebrate Earth Day 2022 with Solar Oregon and join us for a special webinar deep-dive about a technology that can not only keep the lights on in your home or business during an outage\, but which is helping us make the best possible use of our solar energy. We’ll cover topics like: \n\nHow does an energy storage system work\, and what does it look like?\nHow much can you actually power with a battery?\nHow much does energy storage cost\, and what types of incentives are available?\nWhat are the key trends to watch for in the next year?\n\nWe are joined by three special guest speakers\, including: \nLucas Miller\, Mayfield Renewables – As a firm believer that climate change is the most pressing issue facing his generation\, Lucas dove into the renewables industry straight out of college by moving from Wisconsin to Portland to work for a regional solar and energy storage contractor in 2017. In that role\, he managed all company marketing\, community outreach\, and project permitting. Currently\, Lucas works at Mayfield Renewables where he consults on solar-plus-storage projects and go-to-market strategies for contractors\, developers\, and manufacturers. \nAdditional bios coming soon. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. RSVP for a link and call-in number to join the webinar. \nThis workshop is made possible with support from the Energy Trust of Oregon.

SUMMARY:Future of Energy Showcase: Morrison Rotary Youth Center
DESCRIPTION:COVID protocols: masking and valid proof of vaccination are required inside this health care facility. No exceptions. \nSince 1947\, the nonprofit Morrison Child and Family Services has provided culturally responsive\, anti-oppressive mental health and substance use disorder treatment\, support\, and prevention services to children\, youth\, and families across Portland. Building healthy communities means finding balance at all levels of life\, and Morrison’s Rotary Youth Center in East Portland combines zero energy design with rich artistic harmony to promote the health of the community and the planet simultaneously. This efficient and fully solar-powered building is the result of a visionary collaboration between Morrison\, Rotary Club of Portland\, EMA Architecture\, and many other organizations\, and its origins show what is possible when hands join together for a higher purpose. \nJoin Solar Oregon at 6 PM on March 31 for an on-site panel discussion to hear from several members of the project team\, who will share the stories of what makes this building special and the unique challenges that they encountered. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the grounds and socialize. Speaker bios coming soon. \nSpace is limited\, so make sure to RSVP early for this free educational event. Free car and bike parking are plentiful\, and the site is near both bus and Max lines. \nThank you to our sponsor Energy Trust of Oregon.

SUMMARY:Future of Energy Showcase: PAE Living Building
DESCRIPTION:COVID protocols: valid proof of vaccination is required\, negative tests are NOT accepted \nThe future is sustainability\, and solar is one of many tools we must leverage to get there. But what does a truly sustainable city look like? The Living Building challenge is a holistic\, rigorous certification that takes a broader perspective than many other green building certifications. After four years of hard work\, a collaborative project team led by PAE\, Edlen & Co.\, ZGF Architects\, and Walsh Construction has completed an innovative urban office building: the PAE Living Building. This site offers a visionary model for the future of sustainability. \nJoin Solar Oregon at 5 PM on March 16 for an on-site panel discussion of this first-of-its-kind facility. We’ll hear from four members of the project team\, who will share the stories of what makes this building special and the unique challenges that they encountered.

SUMMARY:Zero Energy Home Tour: Ichijo's Reed's Crossing
DESCRIPTION:In the market for a new home? Curious about clean energy for your home or business? Join the nonprofit Solar Oregon for the latest in a series of zero energy site showcases that demonstrate the value of combining solar and energy efficiency in a new home or business. \nOn January 26th we will take a guided tour of a model home in Ichijo’s Reed’s Crossing neighborhood in Hillsboro\, Oregon. Ichijo is a Japanese builder that specializes in high performance and technologically capable homes. The Reed’s Crossing neighborhood is one of the first “zero-energy-ready” housing tracts in Oregon\, making it a trend-setter in sustainable development. Before construction\, each home is modeled to ensure that it can achieve zero net energy use over the course of a typical year through a combination of efficiency and rooftop solar-readiness. \nEnjoy a guided tour of the site\, get your questions answered about solar and energy efficiency\, and meet other clean energy enthusiasts. Masks are required. Thank you to Ichijo\, and to our sponsor Energy Trust of Oregon.
