The U.S. Department of Energy will present a webinar titled "Commercial PACE - Updates from the Field and New Resources for Program Design and Implementation." The commercial property-assessed clean energy (PACE) model offers governments an innovative way to support clean energy and energy efficiency projects in the private sector. This webinar will provide an update on commercial PACE trends and introduce a new Energy Department resource, as well as feature experiences from the field.
Reducing commercial energy consumption by 20 percent would save the American economy $40 billion annually at today’s prices.

Cutting through Code Confusion: A New R-Value Guide for Roofs and Walls
Tuesday, December 18, 2012 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Since 1994, the International Codes, or I-Codes, have served as models for almost all state and local codes in the United States. The 2012 edition of the I-Codes includes several landmark advances to increase energy efficiency in buildings. Not only does the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) include new and higher standards for almost every component in the building envelope, but these standards are further increased in the new International Green Construction Code (IgCC), which is intended to serve as an overlay code, or “above the code” standard for sustainable buildings.
Although the significant advancement in energy efficiency in the 2012 I-Codes is considered to be beneficial by energy experts, the number of new options available may be confusing to the non-expert. In an effort to assist building designers and contractors, the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing and the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association and have published a Roof and Wall Thermal Design Guide for interested building professionals.
Learning Objectives:
- Provide attendees with an understanding of the prescriptive thermal value tables in the 2012 edition of the I-Codes.
- Offer an explanation and translation of information into simple and straightforward roof and wall R-value tables covering the most common types of roof and wall assemblies.
- Describe how the new design guide is organized and how building professionals can use the guide to better understand the prescriptive thermal design standards of the 2012 I-Codes.
- Provide webinar attendees with a free electronic copy of the new Roof and Wall Thermal Design Guide.
Sustainable Roofs for Long-Term Performance
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
The benefits of sustainable roofs are enormous. They include the potential to save energy, reduce the use of water and construction materials and boost the durability of the building envelope. However, with few guidelines available to help facility managers make energy-efficient, sustainable roofing choices, opportunities to tap into the roof as a sustainable asset may not be fully realized.
This webcast will provide an overview of Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing's (CEIR) RoofPoint sustainable roof system guideline – a non-proprietary guide to validate the roof system selection process, and assist in selecting a roofing system that aligns with an organization's sustainability criteria.
Attend this webcast for real-world examples of how this program that can be integrated into almost any roofing project. Learn how you can access details on more than 100 roofing projects that have already been certified and recognized.
Webcast Takeaways Include:
- Recognizing the contributions of commercial roofing systems in achieving a sustainable built environment and accelerating the pace of sustainable development
- Understanding the sustainability criteria and methodology incorporated in RoofPoint and how it may be used to assess roofing system alternatives and facilitate the selection of optimally sustainable roofs
- Obtaining the tools needed to conduct a RoofPoint roof system evaluation and achieve certification for roofing assets
