Event Details
This fall NYSERDA and the PSC are conducting meetings across the state to solicit feedback on NY’s proposals for implementing the new energy efficiency standard, with a specific focus on how the concerns of low-and-moderate income ratepayers can be fairly addressed by this process and statewide energy policy more broadly. We want 1) to make sure that ratepayers – and specifically ratepayers from communities that pay a disproportionate share of income on energy bills – are leading the decision making process on energy efficiency and 2) to showcase how energy efficiency impacts the lives of everyday New Yorker’s via our own stories.
Join us Monday, October 8 at 7 p.m. for a teach-in on the energy efficiency white paper and the policy-making process. Prepare for a) an important October 9 call-in day to the Public Service Commission and b) the upcoming stakeholder forums in Syracuse (October 9), Binghamton (October 23), Deer Park (October 25), and the Bronx (October 31).

Event Details
NYS “Low Carbon Transportation” Listening Session – 2018 Long Island
The New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Department of Transportation (DOT), and Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) are hosting stakeholder listening sessions in locations across the state to help advance a cleaner, safer, and more reliable low-carbon transportation. In his 2018 State of the State address, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo directed DEC, DOT, and NYSERDA to advance the State’s transportation future by sponsoring a series of discussions with key stakeholders to promote a public conversation around low-carbon transportation policy development.
The clean transportation listening sessions are designed to engage stakeholders with diverse interests and concerns in discussion of the economic and social considerations for deploying clean transportation options, opportunities to enhance environmental and public health benefits through a modernized transportation system, how innovative, low-carbon transportation can enhance quality of life and boost economic competitiveness, and what policies and programs may help advance a clean transportation future.
The listening sessions are free and open to anyone who’s interested. Click here for registration information.

Event Details
The Hudson Valley Region of U.S. Green Building Council New York Upstate (USGBC New York Upstate) will be hosting the 7th Annual Green Building Expo. The premier green building exhibition in the region, the Green Building Expo aims to grow the regional green economy by connecting buyers and sellers of green materials and features industry leaders and product representatives. Education sessions have been expanded and begin at 1PM, with the Expo open to the public at 5PM. Admission is free with advance online registration. As an added feature, we will co-host Hudson Valley Green Drinks at the event.
The Expo will showcase local, regional, and national green technology and services. The Expo actively seeks participation of “buyers” of green materials and services and is recruiting facility owners/ operators, developers, bankers, and homeowners to attend and source green materials and services for their buildings. Hudson Valley Green Drinks will be an opportunity to network and share best practices in the green building sector.
The 2018 Expo provides access to industry leaders’ knowledge in energy-efficiency, water resource management, and much more. Light food and a cash bar will be available.
Admission is free with advance registration, $10 at the door. Education sessions 1p.m. – 5 p.m. and Expo 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
