?? ? #AEGDMV: Last week, the DMV Building Electrification Task Force successfully completed their 90-day sprint with the "AEG DMV Building Electrification Task Force Roundtable". Read more on the Task Force's results below: Task Force Lead: Josephine Tucker, JLL Co-Leads: Kristin Niver, Thompson Coburn LLP. & Greg Streiff, ESGx ? On June 18th, the Task Force committed to achieving this 90-day sprint: "Convene select stakeholders to develop a replicable win/win process for project dev/execution using a block-by-block approach, starting with these priority areas based on obsolescence risk, electrification/sustainability needs, and potential office conversion opportunities." ? On August 22nd, the Task Force convened a roundtable with investors, utility companies, and building owners to strategically electrify buildings in the Golden Triangle BID of DC. With rising office vacancies and multiple local amenities, The Golden Triangle has a unique opportunity for investment in energy efficient office conversions to accelerate decarbonization. ? Participants agreed on the Task Force's next 90 day-sprint: - Develop a public information deck for BIDs nationwide to aid in converting inefficient office buildings, including details on federal resources for improving efficiency. - Identify and share financing options for target area office properties to support sustainability improvements, and collaborate with the City Administrator to address regulatory or financial barriers. - Perform detailed case studies on four key buildings, examining current systems, constraints, and preferences, and consider a survey or focus group of building owners and developers.

Welcome, #AEGDMV Building Electrification Task Force! Here are the volunteers who will work together on the 90-day sprint and 12-month objective listed below. Thank you for your leadership! Obstacle: “Regarding building electrification, to achieve DMV’s climate, health and equity goals, a critical obstacle to collectively overcome in 12 months is: To align investors with the opportunities presented today by energy efficient building retrofits, rather than waiting until tomorrow for the problem to go away.” - Josephine Tucker, JLL 90-Day Sprint: Convene select stakeholders to develop a replicable win/win process for project dev/execution using a block-by-block approach, starting with priority areas due to obsolescence risk and office to residence conversion opportunities. 12-Month Objective: Replicate block-by-block approach to include LIDAC communities that can benefit from GGRF $$ Thank you to these Task Force volunteers who will work to carry out the proposed 90-day sprint and 12-month objective: - Josephine Tucker, JLL (Co-Lead) - Kristin Niver, Thompson Coburn LLP (Co-Lead) - Greg Streiff, ESGx (Co-Lead) - Attiya Holt, INF Associates - Arash Zarmehr, PhD, EIT, LEED, ENV SP, WSP in the U.S. - Jay Wilson, RA, JLL - Sri Sekar, DC Green Bank - Ronald Hobson, DC Green Bank - David Sachs, PE, AKF Group - Jamie Donovan, Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) - Josh Lasky, The George Washington University - Mansi Talwar, C.E.M, LEED AP, The George Washington University - Yolanda Bonner, Building Innovation Hub - Patti Boyd, DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) - Luke Lanciano, The Tower Companies - Ryan Snow, U.S. Green Building Council - Pam Maines, ZeroEnergy - Tyler Wyka, The George Washington University Request an Invite to our next Stakeholder Challenge here: https://lnkd.in/ewTJbA2 #climate?#health?#equity?#energy?#resilience?#washingtondc #maryland #virginia?#building #electrification H.G.

I'm thrilled to share that I will be attending the Advanced Energy Group's Building #Electrification Challenge on June 18 in Washington, DC. This event is a fantastic opportunity to dive deep into the electrification of buildings and tackle the challenges that come with it. As the founder of ESGx, an all-in-one #ESG matchmaking platform, I'm particularly interested in exploring how emerging technologies and innovative solutions can be identified, vetted, and integrated with traditional electrification solutions such as #heatpumps to accelerate #decarbonization. ?? What I’m Looking Forward To: ?? Identifying Cutting-Edge Solutions: Discovering the latest trends and innovations in building electrification that can transform the way we approach sustainability. ? Addressing Vendor Selection Challenges: Engaging with industry experts to understand the key pain points in selecting and vetting vendors for electrification projects. ?? Collaboration Opportunities with Established Solution Providers: ESGx is always looking to expand its vendor network and seeking out best in class providers of ESG solutions. ?? Understanding Front-Runners: Gaining insights from stakeholders on the types of buildings and businesses that are leading the way in electrification. Very much appreciate the invite H.G. Chissell and excited to attend my first DMV Challenge. to anyone else attending, let’s connect! #BuildingElectrification #Sustainability #ESG #VendorSelection #NetZero #ClimateLeadership https://lnkd.in/eTXXgZZf
