8:30 am Welcome to ET Summit 2022 |
|
8:35 am Keynote Panel: Decarbonizing California: How Climate Legislation Policy will Accelerate Emerging Technology Adoption Learn how recent climate legislation provides an unprecedented level of policy support for accelerating adoption of related technologies. Get exclusive access to a panel of California policy and thought leaders as they discuss how to respond, how they can accelerate market adoption, and any potential challenges.
|
|
9:35 am Panel: Distributed Energy Resources in Office Buildings As businesses ponder the uncertain future of “work from home” and Californians are urged to shift usage to off-peak hours, how office buildings contribute towards distributed energy resources becomes more and more important. Our panel of leading experts will discuss their organizations’ ongoing work and goals in California and across the nation. Learn more about challenges and opportunities in development of transactive energy markets, the tools that are available for helping building managers manage load, and programs that encourage customer-side engagement.
|
|
10:25 am Panel: Low-GWP Refrigerants: Commercial HVAC With the Senate’s recent ratification of the Kigali Amendment, the US joins 137 nations in reducing the use of HFCs. Join state and federal experts in low-GWP refrigerants as they discuss the challenges the commercial market faces and what can be done to address those challenges. We’ll discuss how to keep up with upcoming regulatory changes, the potential for layering incentives through customer programs, and lessons learned from other market segments.
|
|
11:15 am Panel: Decarbonizing Commercial Water Heating Systems Commercial water heating offers a large opportunity to reduce energy usage, peak power, and GHG emissions. Join us for a discussion with leading experts in water heating to learn about their organizations’ ongoing work and goals in California and across the nation for multi-family and commercial water heating systems. Panelists will discuss the challenges the commercial market faces in updating their water heating systems, and how the ETCC can help track ongoing research to avoid duplication and foster effective collaborations.

8:30 am Welcome to ET Summit 2022 Day 2 |
|
8:35 am Demand Response Projects Demand Response technologies and programs are becoming increasingly important given the growing need for grid flexibility. Learn from our presenters about digital rates, real-time price signaling to boost resiliency and reliability, and technology enhancements that are currently being tested. These projects are leading the way for the industry to drive customer engagement, lower peak consumption, and improve flexibility.
|
|
9:35 am DERs Projects in Commercial Buildings As businesses ponder the uncertain future of “work from home” and Californians are urged to shift usage to off-peak hours, how office buildings fit in becomes more and more important. Learn how our presenters are using advanced heat pumps with thermal storage, leveraging grid interactive capabilities to provide flexible demand management, and demonstrating load shifting for a unitary heat pump system in a multi-family application.
|
|
10:25 am Low-GWP Refrigerants Projects The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020 reduces HFC production and import by 85% by 2036 and the senate’s recent ratification of the Kigali Amendment allows the US to join 137 nations in reducing the use of HFCs worldwide. California continues to lead way in the implementation of regulations to help reduce the super-pollutant emissions from HVAC and refrigeration systems. Our presenters will discuss new technologies that can help meet these requirements without reducing energy efficiency. We will also present new ways to determine radiant loads in buildings to improve overall comfort and efficiency.
|
|
11:15 am Decarbonizing Commercial Water Heating Systems Projects Commercial water heating offers a large and concentrated opportunity to reduce energy usage, peak power, and GHG emissions. Lab results testing a new commercial HPWH under a range of conditions and the results of a project for low-GWP heat pump systems used for central DHW in a multi-family application will be presented. We will also discuss a new project at a university campus to replace natural gas boilers with heat pumps in a central plant used to provide space conditioning for classrooms, office space, and multi-use facilities.
