October 2: Live Webinar on High Performance Outdoor Lighting Accelerator
Webinar Sponsors: Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs Office
The Energy Department will present a live webinar titled "High Performance Outdoor Lighting Accelerator" on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Energy Department recently announced the expansion of the Better Buildings platform to include the newest initiative for the public sector: the High Performance Outdoor Lighting Accelerator (HPOLA). HPOLA is designed to accelerate the deployment of high performance street and outdoor lighting across at least 50% of a city's inventory over the next few years by demonstrating practical and effective best practices and improving system-wide replacement processes at the municipal level.
Crystal McDonald of Better Buildings will discuss how the HPOLA can support participating states, cities, and regional energy networks with access to credible information on the savings, procurement specifications to ensure high quality products, viable financing models, and frameworks for addressing regulations and policies limiting newer technologies.

October 7: Live Webinar on Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing
Webinar Sponsor: Better Buildings Challenge
The Energy Department will present a live webinar titled "PACE Financing for Energy Efficiency: Success Stories" on Tuesday, October 7, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The webinar will feature Better Buildings Challenge Partners, who will describe their successful experiences with property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing as program developers, city administrators, and property owners. PACE financing is a vehicle to pay for energy efficiency improvements or renewable energy installations on private property. Local or state governments and other organizations fund the upfront costs of the improvements, which are paid back over time through property assessments added to the owner's property tax bills. Speakers include: John Kinney, Clean Fund; Eric Shambarger, City of Milwaukee; and Steve Thompson, Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City.
