SUMMARY:Green Energy Series #23: Passive House Basics
DESCRIPTION:Solar Oregon is presenting a Green Energy series – free talks for those interested in learning more about the technologies and design of zero energy buildings. Solar Oregon is a non-profit educational organization leading the way to a clean energy future. These one-hour seminars will explore solar\, energy storage\, and energy-efficient equipment and design. Envisioned as a follow-up to Solar Oregon’s popular Go Zero home tours\, these online talks will encourage a deeper dive into the technology and allow for Q+A discussion contrasting options to aid in decision making. \nAll webinars will be recorded and included on Solar Oregon’s YouTube channel.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN9no-FxCRHnICdU-tbb8Eg/featured \nSpeaker Bios:\nEdward Louie works as a Senior Associate Energy Efficiency Engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the building systems and technology integration group on research projects related to heat pumps\, heat pump water heaters\, high-performance windows\, and remote quality assurance via contractors taking photos of critical details and reporting test results.\nPacific Northwest National Laboratory is a leading center for scientific discovery in chemistry\, data analytics\, and Earth science\, and for technological innovation in sustainable energy and national security.\nBefore joining PNNL\, Edward worked as a residential rater/verifier/inspector for three above-code energy efficiency programs in the greater Portland\, OR\, and SW Washington area. Outside of work\, Edward has been working on building a super energy-efficient off-grid all-electric tiny house on a trailer to gain first-hand construction skills and experiences with building and executing high-performance envelopes\, installing solar PV and batteries\, and more. When complete Edward will live in the tiny house to test whether it is possible to live off-grid with the designed energy systems.\nEdward is passionate about residential energy efficiency technologies\, building assemblies\, and housing typologies. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. \nRSVP here for a link and call-in number to join the webinar.

SUMMARY:Green Energy Series #20: Resiliency through Placemaking
DESCRIPTION:Solar Oregon is presenting a Green Energy series – free talks for those interested in learning more about the technologies and design of zero energy buildings. Solar Oregon is a non-profit educational organization leading the way to a clean energy future. These one-hour seminars will explore solar\, energy storage\, and energy-efficient equipment and design. Envisioned as a follow-up to Solar Oregon’s popular Go Zero home tours\, these online talks will encourage a deeper dive into the technology and allow for Q+A discussion contrasting options to aid in decision making. \nAll webinars will be recorded and included on Solar Oregon’s YouTube channel.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN9no-FxCRHnICdU-tbb8Eg/featured \nTopic:\nJoin us to be inspired by resiliency projects that any city can use. The Solar Kiosk Strategy provides inspiration for models that activate the space between buildings in the public realm\, with advances in equitable placemaking that is visible\, tangible and accessible.\nCities need creative strategies that advance goals for climate action\, emergency response\, social uplift\, and economic recovery. Discover an intersectional strategy that uses solar power\, community engagement\, urban design and sustainable economic development to add resilience. Join us to learn how a solar kiosk strategy can create a network of small-scale resiliency hubs using placemaking to support emergency response during hazard events. We’ll also demonstrate how this framework is as an intersectional strategy connecting small and large scale investments through urban design and campus and neighborhood scaled master planning to optimize resilience.\nPresenters include environmental designers and planners\, Heather Flint Chatto from Forage Design & Planning\, and Charles Kelley from Green Urban Design\, will describe how a small idea blossomed into an intersectional approach to address social and economic stability in communities challenged by climate change. This presentation offers templates to advance resiliency in any city. Its value is in activating public spaces between buildings through placemaking and energy innovation that is visible\, tangible and accessible to your community to enhance resilience through low cost incremental public and private investments. \nSpeaker Bios:\nEATHER FLINT CHATTO\, LEED AP\nForage Design + Planning\, LLC\nHeather Flint Chatto is the founder of the Kiosk Project\, Owner of Forage Design and Executive Director of the Architectural Heritage Center. She brings more than 25 years of project management\, urban planning and design expertise to the team. Inspired by the kiosks seen around the world\, she has planned a series of streetscape structures that can create dynamic places\, add to the mix of urban support services and create an innovative model that can work for diverse communities to add resilience in emergencies as well as in everyday applications.\nHeather is a two time Woman of Vision Award Winner from the Daily Journal of Commerce. \nCHARLES KELLEY\, LEED BD+C\, AIA\,\nGreen Urban Design LLC.\nCharles Kelley is a senior architect and urban designer with more than 36 years of experience. He brings an interdisciplinary design approach to master planning that integrates community aspirations\, natural resources\, and financial assets. This design attitude crystallizes consensus for communities who desire projects that connect high performance buildings and open space across a campus or district. As ZGF Architects’ EcoDistrict and urban design initiative lead in the US and international markets\, he applied the firm’s research and experience through his design and facilitation skills. Through Green Urban Design LLC.\, Charles brings the value of urban design to leverage multiple objectives across mobility\, watershed\, power\, energy\, water\, land use\, and open space systems that create vital and enduring low carbon community-oriented projects. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Green Energy Series #18: A Unique System PV + Thermal - Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:Fifteen years ago\, a packaged mechanical/electrical system branded “PVT” (standing for photovoltaic thermal) was developed by engineers in California. This system harvests heat from the photovoltaic panels for use in the home\, while cooling the PV panels. One of the first PVT systems installed was on Doug Boleyn’s new home built in 2009. This talk will discuss the lessons learned from the more than 10 years that the system has been operating in a suburb of Portland\, OR. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDoug is a retired solar professional\, having built his first solar (heated) house 50 years ago in 1974. Doug started his solar research and consulting career working at Portland General Electric for 20 years. He then formed his own consulting business\, Cascade Solar Consulting\, in 1998. After his Cascade Solar years\, he worked several years as Commercial Solar Manager at Energy Trust of Oregon. He retired in 2012. In 2009\, he built his second solar home in Happy Valley\, where he lives with his wife\, Emily. \nRegister here.
