Energy Efficiency Events Calendar

The mining industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency. This webinar explores innovative strategies for integrating energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions into mining operations, helping companies transition toward sustainability and carbon reduction. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for optimizing energy use, leveraging renewable technologies such as solar and wind power, and implementing energy management systems to enhance operational resilience and cost-effectiveness. The webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards. A certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session. Please note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone. Key takeaways from this webinar Energy Efficiency Strategies in Mining Operations: Understand how energy optimization techniques can reduce operational costs and carbon emissions in the mining industry. Integration of Renewable Energy in Mining: Explore the role of solar and wind systems in powering mining operations. Pathways to Decarbonization and Regulatory Compliance: Discover how energy efficiency and renewables contribute to achieving net-zero targets in mining.

The BNZ CoP hosts monthly virtual sessions that address key challenges municipalities face, including creating internal buy-in, building community and industry support, fostering equitable engagement, exploring best practices for green development standards, and implementing effective measurement and tracking strategies. CoP sessions are open to all local governments and their partners, offering opportunities to engage with subject matter experts, industry leaders, and fellow professionals. Sessions will feature a mix of formal webinars, interactive workshops, and peer-learning clinics, creating space for both structured learning and collaborative problem-solving. Sessions are offered in English.  During webinars sessions, the option for simultaneous translation is provided. // La Communauté de pratique (CdP) Bâtir pour la carboneutralité (BCN) organise des séances virtuelles mensuelles qui abordent les principaux obstacles auxquels les municipalités sont confrontées, notamment la mobilisation à l’interne, les soutiens communautaire et industriel, la promotion d’un engagement équitable, l’exploration des meilleures pratiques en matière de normes d’aménagement écologique et la mise en œuvre de stratégies efficaces d’évaluation et de suivi. Les séances de la CdP sont ouvertes à toutes les administrations locales et à leurs partenaires et offrent la possibilité de s’entretenir avec des experts en la matière, des chefs de file du secteur et d’autres professionnels.

“Keeping Your Electricity Clean as You Go Green” Energy Efficiency Retrofits & Power Quality: Energy efficiency is a popular topic for office buildings as well as both commercial and industrial facilities. Due to the major interest in saving energy, electrical professionals are frequently involved in the design, specification and/or installation of equipment that will reduce energy consumption. Typical energy efficiency projects involve the selection of motors or the use of power electronics equipment or devices which are known to cause electrical disturbances such as harmonics and can also be susceptible to power quality disturbances. This course explains the power quality concerns for two of the most popular retrofits (VFDs and LED lamps). The course explains potential problems, methods to recognize problems after installation and provides recommendations to prevent these problems. Renewable Energy & Power Quality: Many buildings have a combination of power sources including utility, renewable energy inverters, standby generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). This abbreviated seminar compares these power sources from a power quality perspective and offers advice for the proper sizing of these power sources, based upon the intended loads. It demonstrates the various levels of power quality achievable for renewable energy inverters based on various filter […]
