John Geitner – New Jersey Transit

Mr. Geitner has been involved in environmental management and energy programs for over 15 years. At NJ Transit, Mr. Geitner is responsible for all environmental compli-ance and permitting programs, NJ Transit’s Energy Management programs as well as NJ Transit’s sustainable practices and sustainability reporting programs.

New Jersey Transit is looking to establish its own microgrid to make its transit systems more resilient. The proposed microgrid system would include a natural gas powered electric generating plant, with supporting solar photovoltaic and combined heat and

power generation, that would allow NJ Transit the ability to operate independently during widespread or extended outages. Registration for this meeting is through the Globalcon website, or guests can pay $20 at the door.

FOCUS ON: WHY I WANT A MICROGRID FOR MY COMMUNITY, UNIVERSITY OR TRANSIT SYSTEM (CON’D)

Caleb Stratton – City of Hoboken (continued) The City of Hoboken was hit hard during Superstorm Sandy and is investigating how microgrids may improve their community’s energy resilience. The City of Hoboken will designate critical community facilities to deliver un-interrupted electrical service during disaster events, black-outs and brown-outs on a community microgrid.

PHOTOS FROM THE FEBRUARY EVENT

Developing Solut ions to Commercial Bui ld ing Benchmarking

and Transparency Chal lenges

March 26. 8:45am - 4:00pm

The Consortium for Building Energy Innovation is hosting an in-person and virtual day-long workshop to share and further develop solutions related to building energy benchmarking and transparency policy and programs. The objective will be to engage members of the benchmarking and transparency community, building owners, real estate finance professionals, real estate services, building designers, builders, utilities, and suppliers of ener-gy efficient building strategies and their service providers in discussion and collaboration to identify solutions to make it easier for the community to achieve desired results.

The event will be organized according to three panels and idea-generation activities: on the ways we can use benchmarking and transparency policy to increase the energy efficiency of the building stock; ways to make the data capture processes in benchmarking and transparency programs more effective; and ways the technical re-sources can help make benchmarking and transparency useful for driving retrofits.

Guests on the panels include others in the benchmarking and transparency research and implementation com-munity, including, but not limited to representatives from the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT), the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), The Climate Leadership Group (C40), the City of Philadelphia, and others.

CBEI will be hosting in-person and virtual participation for the webinar in an effort to capture participants from many parts of the US. Please register here: http://tinyurl.com/kw77m2s

2015 SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH

THE AEE FOUNDATION

The Foundation of the Association of Energy Engineers Scholarship Fund promotes

continuing education of qualified professionals in energy engineering and energy management. The Foun-

dation receives funding from voluntary Chapter and personal contributions. This year, the Greater Phila-

delphia Chapter will donate two $1,000 scholarships to local students, both undergraduate and masters

programs, who apply for the award. The association works with the Foundation to facilitate the applica-

tion process. The application period opens January 1, 2015. All applications must be received by the local

chapter Scholarship Chair, Randy Haines, by April 1, 2015. Applications are then reviewed and final rec-

ommendations are submitted to the Scholarship Director at national by May 1, 2015. Award winners are

notified by the Foundation over the summer.

For more information on eligibility and how to apply for the 2015 scholarship opportunities, as well as a

full listing of the 2014 award winners, please visit: http://aeefoundation.org/scholarships/2013-faee-

EDUCATION INITIATIVE: VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

STUDENT - ENERGY PROFESSIONAL MEETING LIAISON

In our effort to attract and grow our student participation and membership, we are launching an Education Ini-tiative to connect students interested in attending GPAEE meetings with a Member Liaison. GPAEE repre-sentatives met with Drexel University staff earlier this year to explore opportunities to engage with Drexel stu-dents about energy, efficiency and climate topics. The conversation was well received by University representa-tives and resulted in a next step of encouraging students to attend the January and February GPAEE meet-ings. The Member Liaison initiative was then created to help these students have a positive first experience with our group and offer an opportunity to connect one on one with energy professionals. Member Liaisons would be responsible for:

1. Contacting the student in advance of the meeting to introduce themselves & get some understanding of what the student would like to accomplish by attending a GPAEE meeting

2. Meeting with the student at the designated meeting site and helping the student get accustomed to the meeting environment

3. Introducing student to at least 2 other members; preference to members that meet student's interests or goals for attending the meeting (if known)

4. Get any feedback from student on his/her meeting experience & on whether goal(s) were met.

We need your help! GPAEE is looking for volunteers to be

Member Liaisons.

If you are interested in helping the next generation of professionals into the energy industry, please contact Helen Silvis at 215-668-1065 or email [email protected] to learn more and participate.

Despite ominous weather reports and some snow in the morning the competition was a great suc-cess. Thirty one schools braved the weather to compete. Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School won first place and will represent the Philadelphia region at the National Future City finals in Washing-ton DC on February 15.

Forty five companies, organizations, and individuals sponsored Special Awards which were evaluated and awarded at the competition. All of the competing schools received at least one award. The GPAEE award entitled “Best Energy-Based Project” was awarded to the team from Springfield Township Middle School. The team from Springfield was not able to stay at the competition to the 4pm Awards ceremo-ny so the award will be mailed to them.

GOV. TOM WOLF OUTLINES PROMISED TAX ON NATURAL GAS Three months ago, voters, many angry over the loss of education funding, made history by booting from office a sitting governor many viewed as responsible for the loss of thousands of teaching jobs and classroom programs for their children. On Wednesday, newly installed Gov. Tom Wolf sought to capitalize on that sentiment to achieve a campaign promise of taxing natural gas production. (more)

CBEI Summer 2015 Internship Program Appl icat ions Are Open

The Consortium for Building Energy Innovation (CBEI) is now accepting applications for the Summer 2015 internship program. CBEI is a program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Effi-ciency and Renewable Energy Building Technology Office and is developing technology packages and mar-ket pathways to reduce energy use in commercial buildings by 50%. CBEI is leveraging technological applications, policies, and programs to help drive commercial building en-ergy efficiency and the Summer 2015 internship projects reflect this diversity of ideas. The Summer 2015 internship projects are broken into three categories: Modeling; Indoor Environmental Quality; and Educa-tion and Training. The internship is a 40 hour per week, 8 week long program beginning on June 1, 2015. Internships are paid at a rate of $15/hr for undergraduate and $20 for graduate students. Interns will be working in the newly renovated CBEI Headquarters building located at The Navy Yard in Philadelphia. This high-efficiency building is both a demonstration of an energy efficient retrofit of a historic building and a living laboratory that will play a large part in many of this summer’s projects. The internship cohort will be offered opportu-nities to engage with leaders in the growing field of building energy efficiency, including through a series of planned seminars at CBEI. Interested applicants must complete the application on the Penn State University Job Opportunities listing page and submit a cover letter and resume. For more information click here.
