SUMMARY:What is an energy code anyway? Policymakers hold the key to better buildings in Kansas City
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDuring the cold snap in 2021 and record-breaking temperatures this past summer\, communities across the Kansas City area continue to experience firsthand the detrimental impacts of living in inefficient homes. Luckily\, there are model building codes to guide prudent action — roadmaps for new construction and updating existing buildings. Included in the suite of building codes is the life-safety energy code. \nYou may be wondering what exactly is an energy code\, what code your municipality has adopted\, and why are these people telling me it’s so important? Join Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) on Thursday\, March 3 at 11:30am as we simplify the code and discuss how it can ensure your residents have healthy\, safe\, and affordable places to work\, play\, and call home.   \nThis event is for policymakers in the Kansas City region including\, but not limited to\, City Council Members\, Mayors\, City Managers\, and Directors and staff of applicable departments (Planning & Development\, Health\, etc.).

SUMMARY:Join MEC to Celebrate Energy Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:October is annually designated as National Energy Awareness Month. The U.S. Department of Energy (US DOE) participates annually with the intent to draw attention to our nation’s electrical grid system and “to highlight the importance of energy to our national prosperity and security.” As the US DOE states\, “Energy\, our most critical infrastructure\, is all but invisible to most\, but our focus on continued innovation protects American lives today and ensures better lives tomorrow.” \nThis year\, Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) will use this truth to draw attention to energy efficiency and how it relates to our infrastructure\, including our transportation systems and the built environment. There is indeed innovation happening on a national scale\, and it’s occurring quickly. MEC is either hosting\, co-hosting\, or cross-promoting a number of in-person and virtual events this October to highlight all the ways our nation can modernize the way it uses energy to create a prosperous future for our youth and future generations. Click the links below to learn more about each event and how to participate (more links to come as the suite of events is finalized). \nWhether an industry professional or policy maker or technician or a member of the general public\, we have at least one event for you. Join us and our members\, volunteers and friends during Energy Awareness Month. We’ll celebrate recent achievements and foster accelerated adoptions of energy conservation\, renewables and cleaner fuels. \nEnergy Awareness 2021 Event List: \n\n\n\nNative Plant Sale & Drive Electric Week Event at Project Living Proof with Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City\nSept. 25\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: South Park in Lawrence\nSept 25\n\n\nLion Electric School Bus Ride and Drive: Lee’s Summit Schools\nSept 28\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: Driving Electric: Black & Veatch EV Drivers Tell All (Virtual)\nSept 29\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: Prairie Village Presbyterian Church\nSept 29\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: Independence Chamber of Commerce    CANCELED\nOct. 2\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: ICT (Wichita Towne East Square)\nOct. 2\n\n\nNational Energy Efficiency Day (Ask Emily for a model Proclamation for your city\, business or organization)\nOct. 6\n\n\nMarquee Event: Our Best Buildings Yet: A Forum on Energy Efficiency in the Kansas City Region and Beyond\nOct. 7\n\n\nVirtual Workshop on Diesel Emissions Reduction Funding Opportunities: Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative\nOct. 12-14\n\n\nWebinar: EV Fleet Trends: Advice from the Experts (hosted by Louisiana Clean Fuels Coalition)\nOct. 13\n\n\nMarquee Event Day of EVs (In-Person): Exploring EVs in Municipal Fleets with City of Olathe\, Indian Creek Library in Olathe\, KS\nOct. 19\n\n\nMarquee Event Day of EVs (Virtual): Electrifying Terminal Trucks: Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Deployments in the Kansas City Region and Beyond\nOct. 19\n\n\nOur Energy Horizon: A Solar\, Storage\, Electric Vehicle & Transmission Event\, Thompson Barn in Lenexa\, KS (hosted by Clean Energy Business Council)\nOct. 25\n\n\nWeatherization Day 2021\nOct. 30

SUMMARY:Green Drinks: Battery Chat at Project Living Proof
DESCRIPTION:For July’s Green Drinks\, we’ll be meeting at Metropolitan Energy Center’s sustainable demo home\, Project Living Proof\, to talk about battery technology.  Most of us are familiar with the uses of batteries for motor vehicles and energy storage\, but what about how these batteries are sourced on the front end and recycled or re-used on the back end? \nFrank Jakob from Black and Veatch will talk with us about the geography of materials that go into battery technology\, where they are assembled\, and the scalability of this for an expanded future use. Then how are these batteries are recycle or re-used.  We’ll be skipping over the use of batteries\, focusing entirely on their sustainability as the technology grows and expands. \nIn addition\, we’ll be taking a tour of Project Living Proof\, a one-of-a-kind eco-friendly home to see and experience all of its green updates. We’ll also take a special look at the solar battery storage system that helps power the home. \nHope you can join us for this fascinating topic that will impact us all!
