SUMMARY:Green Building Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE! \nThe Green Building Tour is a showcase for real-world solutions that address the climate impact of buildings in Central Oregon. From architects and contractors to DIYers\, the tour’s sites illuminate how high performance structures can be healthy\, cost effective\, and impactful options for all. Green buildings’ benefits are often invisible to both consumers in addition to building sector professionals. The Green Building Tour addresses this by connecting attendees with the tools and know-how that break down barriers to building more sustainably. This highly anticipated event brings building better enthusiasts into conversation with one another about paths to climate-resilient living. \nFor the 22nd year of the Green Building Tour we are excited to try a slightly different structure. Themes include Building Dense Livable Cities\, Electrification\, Water Resiliency in the High Desert\, and Healthy Materials Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The Environmental Center will host participants for a full day of theme-based activities on September 28th. Part I: Summit – From 9:00 to 1:00 community members gather at OSU Cascades\, Tykeson Hall for featured speakers\, community workshops\, and educational booths. Part II: Tour – From 1:00-5:00 pm\, we’ll see themes demonstrated in the field with a tour of four community sites that highlight local energy-saving solutions that connect to our themes. The Green Building Tour will inspire attendees to take action wherever they are on their journey to living more sustainably. \n \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:How to Make Decisions About Energy Investments for Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:Guidance on How to Make Decisions About Energy Investments for Affordable Housing\nJoin us on October 29 at the Azimuth 315 Apartments in Bend for a thoughtful discussion with local leader and Energy Trust Net Zero Fellow Rob Roy\, who will share replicable strategies for analyzing and making decisions about energy investments in commercial construction. Research is based on comparisons of modeled and operating performance of three Pacific Crest Affordable Housing projects in Bend. The event space\, Azimuth 315\, is one of the case studies featured in his research. \nThrough his research\, Rob evaluated the efficacy and replicability of Pacific Crest’s financial model\, which considers the long-term monetary impact of implementing various energy efficiency measures and renewable energy systems. Rob also developed a tool that other affordable housing developers and design teams can use to evaluate the impacts of energy efficiency measures and renewable energy systems over the lifespan of their projects. \nRob Roy has established himself as an industry leader by building some of the most energy-efficient affordable multifamily buildings in the nation. Rob led the research with funding from Energy Trust of Oregon’s Net Zero Fellowship. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with Rob about the research and its applicability to your own work. \nAbout Net Zero Fellow Rob Roy \nRob Roy is a founding partner and co-manager of Pacific Crest Affordable Housing and has extensive experience with all facets of building and development\, from financing and construction to planning and land use. His 32 years of experience navigating complex public-private partnerships\, alongside his work as a three-time Olympic snowboarding coach\, have refined his collaboration\, negotiation and business skills.

Un lugar en el que se le de rienda suelta al mundo de las ideas y de autoeducación popular\, con el lenguaje español como el vehículo que conecta. \nUbicación: Envía un correo electrónico a juliana@oregonhumanities.org para registrarte y recibir la dirección. \nOrganizan: Oregon Humanities en colaboración con BENDITAS\, The Environmental Center\, y OSU Cascades. \n¡Pregúntanos por el apoyo que ofrecemos para cuidado de niños!
