9TH ANNUAL MARKET
TRANSFORMATION CONFERENCE

October 26th-28th, 2020, Energy Services Coalition is hosting its 9th Annual Market Transformation Conference at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX. If you are in a position of managing, developing, implementing or marketing guaranteed energy savings performance contracting (GESPC) programs, products or services, this con-ference is designed for you!

The conference will offer a broad range of topics for those involved in the GESPC community and will also feature a number of networking opportunities. These networking opportunities are designed into the conference schedule for exhibitors and attendees to maximize their conference experience. The ESC Market Transformation Exhibit Expo will feature displays of the latest technologies and trends in energy efficiency products, strategies and services from conference sponsors.

The Energy Services Coalition (ESC) is a national nonprof-it organization composed of a network of experts from a wide range of organizations working together at the state and lo-cal level to increase energy efficiency and building upgrades through guaranteed energy savings performance contracting.

The ESC has a network of nearly 30 state chapters located throughout the country. These state chapters reflect the same public/private partnership approach as the national organ-ization. Each is headed by two co-chairs, with representa-tion from a state energy office and an ESCO. ESC’s first state

chapter was formed in Colorado in 2001. The main mission of state chapters is to provide statewide on-the-ground education on performance contracting.

ESC provides its members with many resources to facilitate performance contracting projects, energy efficiency improvements, and building upgrades.

• Informative and interactive meetings at various loca-tions across the country provide a forum to address performance contracting issues and to develop business relationships. These meetings also facilitate state-to-state information exchange on “best practices” in marketing and implementing performance contracting projects.

• Workshops on project development, financing, and energy savings performance contracting provide information on new energy-saving technologies and financing options for building and facility owners.

• Other benefits available to ESC members include: problem-solving services on performance contracting and financing for building and facility owners, and free educational and technical materials, including standardized documents, such as sample Requests for Proposals and contracts.

• Features of the ESC web site include: a listing of individuals representing service providers in each state, and a web-based public sector discussion forum for asking and answering questions about upgrading buildings, performance contracting, and energy efficiency projects.

Chapter Activity: New Hampshire’s ESC Chapter recently became active.

ADAPTING TO CHANGING EXPECTATIONS

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing means investing with a purpose to both seek positive returns, but also to have a long-term impact on society and sustainability.

HIGHER EDUCATION: Western New Mexico University

In October of 2018, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities published a staggering statistic. It reported that “overall state funding for public two- and four-year colleges in the school year ending in 2018 was more than $7 billion below its 2008 level.”

HILL AIR FORCE BASE

Hill Air Force Base (AFB), located in northern Utah, is remarkable for several reasons. With an annual economic impact of more than three billion dollars, the base is the largest single-site employer in the state.
