SUMMARY:Local Food Challenge
DESCRIPTION:4th Annual Local Food Challenge brought to you by High Desert Food & Farm Alliance\nHow to participate: Every day from Sept 24-29th\, HDFFA will send you daily mini-challenges. These are fun opportunities to try new flavors\, interact with your community\, and learn about farmers\, ranchers and the Central Oregon food landscape. The more challenges you do\, the more points you rack up. The more points you earn\, the closer you get to the Grand Prize! \nWhat you’ll win: Every day\, HDFFA will draw a new winner to receive $15 to spend on local food. So what’s the Grand Prize? $75 worth of local fresh local food\, a local food gift basket and a chef’s knife. It’s the ultimate foodie’s dream come true! \nAre you ready for the challenge? Sign up today!

SUMMARY:2017 Net Zero Fellowship Research: Approaching Net Zero for Today's Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Energy Trust of Oregon’s annual Net Zero Fellowship research grant aims to uncover potential barriers slowing the widespread adoption of net zero commercial building design while growing the community constructing these remarkable buildings. \nShilpa Surana of Brightworks Sustainability was selected for the inaugural Net Zero Fellowship\, with supporting input from partners at Skanska and Gerding Edlen. Shilpa studied two real buildings in the city of Portland – one midrise multifamily and one midrise office – to identify how these same structures could be built today to approach net zero energy consumption. \nRelatively little research exists on net zero energy strategies for midrise office and multifamily buildings\, despite these types making up a significant percentage of the real estate market. Over the last 18 months\, Shilpa aimed to identify the most cost-effective energy improvements for these buildings to explore paths toward net zero energy performance. The research pairs her energy modeling outcomes with construction cost premiums and development proformas to create a greater understanding of barriers and opportunities. \nWhile Shipla’s research does not aim to demonstrate cost parity between net zero and conventional buildings\, her approach used multiple iterations of systems and costs to hone in on some of the most cost-effective strategies. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Shipla’s research exercise and design considerations for maximizing energy efficiency. \nRSVP for this event.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters: \nShilpa Surana\, Energy Analyst\, LEED Ap BD+C\, CPHC\, Brightworks Sustainability\, Energy Trust 2017 Net Zero Fellow \nSteve Clem\, Vice President of Pre-Construction\, Skanska \nAbout the 2017 Net Zero Fellow: \nShilpa has over 7 years of experience providing energy analysis and energy modeling services for high-performance building design and projects pursuing sustainability frameworks. She is a former LEED energy model reviewer who helps design teams set energy performance targets\, identify energy efficiency measures\, simulate results\, and make expert recommendations based on the relative and absolute impacts of various strategies. Her modeling career includes diverse project experience including offices\, restaurants\, warehouses\, medical facilities\, schools\, stadiums and campuses. She has experience modeling advanced strategies such as displacement ventilation\, absorption chillers\, thermal storage\, geothermal heat pumps\, and radiant heating and cooling systems. \nPROFESSIONALS TAKING THIS TRAINING IN-PERSON IN BEND\, OR ARE ELIGIBLE FOR 1 CCB OR 1 AIA/LU CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT.\nLIGHT REFESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED. A TEMPORARY PARKING PERMIT IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ATTENDEES.
