From lighting controls to energy monitoring, new technology is being developed to help increase functionality, improve the user experience, and meet energy-efficiency needs on your campus. These technologies may add value to your energy projects—but not all of them will pass your IT department’s security test. Listen in to learn about potential barriers and future best practices when integrating new technology on your campus.

Preparing for decarbonization: Boston-based organizations
An institution’s decarbonization options can depend heavily on location. Boston and its neighboring cities Cambridge and Newton have some of the most progressive climate initiatives and legislation in the country, requiring building owners to invest in decarbonization measures to meet building ordinances. We understand that decarbonization is a complex topic made even more complicated by location-specific opportunities and regulations and used our experience working on decarbonization in Boston to provide a stripped-down explanation of what decarbonization is and how to make progress.
If you only have time to do three things to push climate action and decarbonization forward at your school, what should you do? That’s the type of question we hoped to shed some light on in this webinar. We understand that the folks doing sustainability work at K12 schools usually do so as a part-time job or volunteer work. With limited time and resources, we want to help you find the most impactful actions you can take. That starts with understanding decarbonization itself.
