RFI on Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings Open Until December 9
GSA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are requesting information about building technologies and energy services that can cost-effectively provide building load flexibility as part of a Grid-interactive Efficient Building (GEB) strategy.
Software-Controlled Switched Reluctance Motor, Wednesday November 20, 1 pm ET
Please join us for a GPG Outbrief webinar on a smart motor that combines an innovative electric motor design with a programmable variable speed drive and a controller that provides real-time monitoring and cloud-based connectivity. During the webinar, researchers and facility managers will discuss findings from the evaluation, share operational guidance and answer questions. Attendees are eligible to receive continuing education credits from the American Institute of Architects.
