Bright Minds Break Down the Outlook of Local Law 97 & Options to Proceed

Adam McCarvill / Program Coordinator, CEBIP With construction codes pushing new buildings toward net zero, and roughly 80 percent of the world’s expected 2050 building stock already in existence, we need to start asking the tough questions about meeting emissions limits in line with the Paris Agreement. Let’s shift the focus to a smaller scale, where […]

Tightening the Envelope on Building Energy Efficiency

Adam McCarvill / Program Coordinator, CEBIP How important is a building’s envelope in the scope of energy efficiency and creating a clean-energy-integrated built environment? A building envelope includes the walls, windows, roof, and foundation, and forms the primary thermal barrier between the interior and exterior environments. In other words, a building envelope is all the building […]

So Much Gravity to What Terrament Has in Store

A bright leader working towards a more sustainable future. Under the Department of Energy’s classification, Long Duration Energy Storage is a storage system that can deliver electricity for 10 or more hours in duration. Terrament, a startup founded by Eric Chaves, is centered around a gravity storage technology setting out to hit the Inter-day, 10–36-hour […]

Long-Duration Energy Storage is a Must-Have for Grid Stability

Without long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, energy-supply gaps and frequent outages will plague our path to a clean-energy future. The transition to wind- and solar-generated power must include new technologies to effectively store energy when demand is low and efficiently distribute it when demand is high.
