SUMMARY:Geothermal Heat Pumps
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 19th as we explore the world of Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs)\, a technology that uses the constant temperature of the shallow earth to provide heating and cooling. Because the ground can absorb excess heat during the summer and act as a heat source during the winter\, GHPs are extremely efficient—reducing energy consumption up to 44% compared to air source heat pumps and 72% compared to standard HVAC systems. \nWhile more costly to install\, GHPs offer greater longevity and stability than air source heat pumps\, and the additional costs may be returned in energy savings in just 5-10 years. We’ll discuss which climates and conditions are optimal for GHPs\, and how to decide if your property is a good fit. Our panelists will share the basics of geothermal heat pumps along with their many advantages—high efficiency and extreme climate performance to name a few. \nJoin us for a 45-minute webinar in which we’ll discuss: \n\nWhat is a geothermal heat pump and how does it work?\nHow efficient is a geothermal heat pump\, as compared to other types of heating and cooling?\nWhat are the benefits of using geothermal energy?\nWhy would someone invest in geothermal versus an air source heat pump?\nWhat is the cost to install a GHP\nHow does the energy savings impact payback time?\nAre there incentives available?\nWhat is the lifespan of a GHP system?\nWhat are the ideal climates for GHPs?\nHow can geothermal energy help the grid?\nHow do I decide if my property is a good candidate for a GHP?\nWhat about larger buildings or multifamily buildings?\nWhat are the different types of GHPs available?\nHow can I find someone to install a GHP at my home?\n\nThis webinar is part of the Electrify Now “Go Electric!” series developed in partnership with LEARN. Find more Go Electric! webinars with information and tips on other important electrification topics here. \nLEARN is a San Diego based workforce education and training program that has partnered with Electrify Now to offer free energy efficiency and electrification webinars.

SUMMARY:Breaking Down Siloes to Plan and Finance Infrastructure for the Future
DESCRIPTION:A virtual event as part of New York Climate Week 2024. \nThere are many tools and case studies on how to support good governance in infrastructure planning\, particularly when it comes to financing and delivering sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects. That said\, changing how infrastructure is governed in practice is not always straightforward. This is due to country-level differences (such as governance systems\, politics\, and geography)\, ways of working\, and a disconnect in how infrastructure is planned\, financed\, and delivered. \nAt this event\, co-organised by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the ICE-led Enabling Better Infrastructure (EBI) Programme\, attendees will hear from senior government officials from around the world who have been able to shift how they governed more sustainable infrastructure. \nSpeakers will outline how countries have encouraged cooperation in infrastructure planning by breaking down silos and bringing in a wide range of stakeholders — such as ministries of finance and sectoral line ministries—to promote the setting up of bankable infrastructure projects. \nDuring the event\, speakers will reflect on the following key questions: \n\nHow were siloes broken down across the infrastructure system\, and what were the direct and indirect benefits for delivering on infrastructure needs?\nHow are the realities of financing and investing in sustainable infrastructure incorporated into the planning process?\nHow easy was it to identify which changes needed to be made across multiple government departments and other influential stakeholders\, and how did you overcome any challenges?\nWhich lessons can share with other countries wanting to break down siloes in how infrastructure is planned and delivered?\n\nInternational guidance\, such as UNEP’s International Good Practice Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure and ICE’s EBI principles\, will be used to explore how tools shape infrastructure governance in different parts of the world.
