SUMMARY:Power and Equity: Advancing Energy Justice for People with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:The growing number of children with special needs presents a serious challenge not only to health\, education\, but also to other sectors. Current research on the energy justice for disabled population is limited. Given the increasing frequency of storms exacerbated by climate change and the vulnerabilities of aging infrastructure leading to power outages\, disabled people are disproportionately susceptible to the impacts of climate change. Additionally\, this population allocates a greater proportion of their income to energy consumption compared to non-disabled individuals\, highlighting intersecting systemic inequalities. This article examines the relationship between energy poverty and disability based on available research papers. The objective of this study is to furnish policymakers\, communities\, and individuals with inclusive perspectives for the future energy sector and to advocate for the strengthening and utilization of disability data by researchers. Furthermore\, this review examines the gaps between the vision for energy justice and its practical realities\, concluding with a call for inclusive just transition. \nJoin us on December 3\, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST for this virtual webinar. \nRegister Now \n  \nPresenter Biography: \nPadmini Kamalakumar\, CEM \, is an energy enthusiast based in Fort Worth\,Texas. She is a freelance energy engineer contributing to energy efficiency projects. She has a decade of research experience on energy in India. She started her energy career with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited\, a heavy electrical equipment industry where she researched boiler controls and instrumentation. \nWith her interests in renewable energy\, she moved to India’s Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar (SSN) Research center in 2008. She was a key person in building a Solar PV power plant in SSN Institutions campus\, which was one of the pioneer solar PV power plants of south India. Her main interest was to build an artificial intelligence-based tracker for concentrated solar power. She was an Energy auditor in India. She got in touch with Petroleum Conservation Research Association\, India to put forward energy efficiency in the hospitality sector. After moving to the U.S.\, she became an AEE member.

SUMMARY:AEE East: Session D2 | High Performance Buildings featuring CWEEL Member Elin Shepard
DESCRIPTION:See CWEEL in action this June at AEE East!  \nTrack D: Empowering Energy Innovations\nSession D2: High Performance Buildings\nJune 26\, 2025\n10:00 am – 10:30 am \nThe Evolution of a Whole Building Offering \nSince 2004\, the Energy Trust of Oregon New Buildings Program (Program) has supported an award-winning holistic approach to net zero building design through energy modeling\, using the current energy code as a baseline. Over that time\, Oregon’s code has changed seven times\, necessitating innovative responses within the Program and strategies to push beyond code requirements. In response\, Energy Trust has helped 825\,000 businesses\, customers and communities reap the benefits of clean energy\, which has saved them $7.2 billion on utility bills\, and generated 1\,120 average megawatts of electricity and saved 100 million annual therms of natural gas. Those investments add up to 42.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide avoided\, which keeps our air cleaner and supports the state’s climate goals.\nThis session will explore how the Program has continued to adapt the Whole Building incentive offering to respond to these new code requirements and has created new tools to assist with its implementation. By examining a series of case studies\, best practices\, and technical tools\, this session will demonstrate strategies that attendees can replicate in their own buildings and program development. \nAbout Elin Shepard\nAs an outreach manager for Energy Trust’s New Buildings program\, Elin Shepard works with government and education projects through utility programs to maximize energy efficiency and incentives in new construction and major renovations. Previously working for the Oregon Department of Administrative Services for 15 years\, Elin led the charge to infuse a culture of sustainability in state government operations through legislation\, statewide policy and inter-governmental coordination. She received a B.A. from Oregon State University and is a Certified Energy Manager® and LEED AP BD+C certified. A former president and board member of Oregon APEM\, Elin is the current vice president and CWEEL liaison of the AEE Columbia River Chapter\, and the president of the Sustainable Living Center at Pringle Creek Community in Salem.

SUMMARY:AEE East: Session A1 | Implementing Energy Efficiency featuring CWEEL Member Andrea Moshier
DESCRIPTION:See CWEEL in action this June at AEE East!  \nTrack A: Implementing Energy Efficiency\nSession A1: The State of Energy Policy & Funding in the U.S.\nJune 25\, 2025\n2:00 pm – 2:30 pm \nPartnership in Action: Rhode Island’s State + Utility Energy Efficiency Story \nIn 2016 the State of Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources (OER) and Rhode Island Energy (distribution utility) began a Strategic Energy Management Partnership (SEMP). The goal is to deliver comprehensive energy efficiency to the public sector. State\, public school\, and municipal buildings benefit from the combined technical\, financial\, procurement\, and project management support. By supporting the full energy projects lifecycle\, the SEMP bridges resource gaps\, builds lasting partnerships\, and educates key public sector actors through clean energy implementation. The partnership leverages resources from additional entities such as the RI Infrastructure Bank\, School Building Authority\, and US Department of Energy to enhance utility incentives and State funding. \nThrough an iterative\, trial and error process\, we have tailored processes to enable the entire energy efficiency lifecycle. This includes energy assessments\, engineering support to develop/design projects\, procurement support to enable execution\, and funding to cover implementation costs. One example of this collaboration in action is a public schools initiative focused on LED lighting and high efficiency HVAC in RI’s environmental justice communities. \nLessons learned and case studies from the ongoing 8+ year collaboration demonstrate the value to all parties involved and the contribution to Rhode Island’s Clean Energy and Climate Goals. \nAbout Andrea Moshier\nAndrea Moshier has over 25 years’ experience in energy management and efficiency\, focused on large commercial\, industrial\, and healthcare end users. Currently\, Andrea is a Principal Engineer at Rhode Island Energy (a PPL company) leading Strategic Partnerships & Community Solutions. In this role\, she establishes and implements partnerships created to enhance delivery of energy efficiency programs to large customers and communities. Andrea manages customer relationships and energy program delivery with hospitals\, universities\, municipalities\, state agencies and large manufacturers.\nAndrea received a Bachelor of Arts (Environmental Studies) from Middlebury College and a Master of Science (Engineering Management) from the George Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science. Andrea is a member of the AEE CWEEL Governing Council and previously served as the CWEEL New England Group Lead and Chapter Liaison.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Energy Access in Developing Countries: A Multi-Tier Framework Approach
DESCRIPTION:Traditional measures of energy access\, such as whether a household has an electricity connection\, fail to account for the supply quality\, including capacity\, reliability\, voltage\, and affordability\, especially in developing countries. To address this\, the World Bank created the multi-tier framework (MTF) for energy access\, which measures energy access across various technologies and fuels by evaluating key attributes that impact the user experience. This webinar will introduce the MTF’s unique features and present empirical evidence of its application in India and other developing countries. It will also discuss potential actions for better-assessing market participants\, such as policy setting and resource allocation for capital investment. \n\nClick here to register\nAbout the Presenter:\nProf. Namrata Chindarkar is an Associate Professor and Chairperson at the JSW School of Public Policy\, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad\, and a Fellow at the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. Her research focuses on sustainable development and social policy\, utilizing quantitative analysis and policy impact evaluation. Her work has been published in top journals such as Bulletin of the World Health Organization\, Energy Economics\, and World Development.
