Parkway Village Project
Joe Mazzarella, Sunlight Solar
Jacob Clark, Habitat for Humanity

Curious about how to afford solar and/or energy efficiency? A new program through Energy Trust of Oregon offers opportunities for individuals and builders.
Learn how these incentives were used to build a Net Zero Energy subdivision in SunRiver, OR. Installed equipment lowered energy bills. Learn about other solar and efficiency incentives that are available to individuals that are below an income threshold. These can be used on many different types of single family and multifamily dwellings.

MIcrogrid and Storage: Driving Independence and Resiliency Through Your Energy Infrastructure
Joe Mankiewicz and Jeremy Fuller, Ameresco
Energy infrastructure is critical to health, business, and many other aspects of life. What do you do when your power goes out. Ameresco will discuss how it helps organizations meet energy saving and energy management challenges with an integrated comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and renewable energy. Leveraging budget neutral solutions, including energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) and power purchase agreements (PPAs), we eliminate the financial barriers that traditionally hamper energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
Examples will be provided of selected energy management from the commercial, industrial, local, state and federal government, K-12 education, higher education, and/or healthcare and public housing sectors.
