TECH Clean California Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Program with Energy Solutions
2025-09-11 13:30 - 17:00 | Virtual
A 2025 PLMA Award of Excellence Winner, TECH Clean California, launched by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), promotes clean heating technologies through incentives for heat pump water heater (HPWH) installations. The program has funded over 11,000 installations resulting in significant greenhouse gas savings. As of October 2023, new mandates required that HPWH customers also enroll in demand response programs. To enable this, the team provided additional education to contractors which has led to high enrollment rates and 91% customer satisfaction. In December 2024, the contractors were asked to provide “proof of enrollment” for their installations which has continued to enhance program participation and contractor engagement. Today, the HPWH contractors are evolving into demand response leaders in their own right.
Join us to learn about this program, its results, lessons learned, and key take aways for the energy industry. Everyone welcome!

EPA’s Flood Cleanup Resources: Promoting Community Resilience through Risk Communication
2025-06-18 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
After a flood, affected residents often want to assess the condition of their homes and businesses, get rid of debris and muck, and repair damaged property—however, flooded buildings contain potential health risks. Getting information to the public after a disaster about what these health risks are and how to avoid them can be difficult. EPA’s Office of Research Development and Region 4 (Southeast) used the EPA’s risk communication framework and human-centered design techniques to figure out what information people affected by a flood need and how they make cleanup decisions. They used this input to create a website on how to safely clean out and fix up flooded homes. The website contains short how-to videos with step-by-step instruction from safely entering a flooded building to mold remediation techniques. The public can use this website to reduce hazards in the home after a flooding event to protect their health. It helps communities recover as quickly and safely as possible. The webinar will review the risk communication and human-centered design strategies used to develop the Flooded Homes Cleanup Guidance website and provide an overview of the website and its key features.

RFF x Canary Media: Conversations on Electricity Affordability
2025-06-03 14:00 - 17:00 | Resources Conservation Center, Washington, DC
America has an electricity affordability problem: despite super-cheap solar and abundant natural gas, the sheer demands of maintaining aging electrical poles and wires through increasingly extreme weather have pushed costs higher year after year. Tariffs, trade wars, and the potential repeal of clean-energy tax credits could make matters even worse.
Canary Media’s Julian Spector will interview a panel of experts to talk about the most promising solutions to the electricity affordability crisis, from building cheap, clean energy and harnessing the power of distributed energy resources, to modernizing the ways utilities charge their customers.

Wildfire Advancing Science Partnerships for Indoor Reductions of Smoke Exposures (ASPIRE) Study
2025-05-21 15:30 - 16:30 | Virtual
Many communities throughout the US are routinely exposed to elevated concentrations of particulate matter (PM) in wildland fire smoke. A common public health message is for people to go indoors when outdoor PM levels are elevated. While PM infiltration in single family homes has been relatively well studied, less is known about how much comes indoors in commercial and nonresidential buildings (such as libraries, fitness centers, and schools). To fill knowledge gaps on smoke infiltration and mitigation indoors, EPA researchers worked with community partners in Montana and California on a multifaceted study called the Wildfire Advancing Science Partnerships for Indoor Reductions of Smoke Exposures (ASPIRE) Study. This study began in 2019 and examined wildfire smoke indoor air quality impacts in public spaces and innovative approaches to reduce wildfire smoke indoors. This presentation will provide an overview of study components and some of the key results.
