As New York’s electricity demand grows, buildings have a critical role to play in supporting a resilient, reliable grid. This Climate Week, join Building Energy Exchange and Energy by 5 for an evening bringing together building owners, energy professionals, and industry leaders to explore how buildings can move from passive energy consumers to active grid participants.

Experts from across the energy sector will share practical strategies for advancing grid-responsive electrification, including demand response initiatives, utility incentives, clean heating programs, and emerging sensor technologies. Discover how these tools can reduce costs, improve building performance, and position buildings as partners in New York’s energy future.

The evening will feature a series of brief presentations followed by networking and light refreshments!
