Open and accessible programming
The Center for Energy and the Built Environment (CEBE) hosts webinars, public events, workshops, and applied learning programs that connect students, professionals, policymakers, industry leaders, and regional partners around practical questions in energy, infrastructure, buildings, sustainability, and community development. Our programming is designed to bridge theory and practice by fostering meaningful dialogue, highlighting emerging challenges and opportunities, and creating pathways for collaboration across sectors. Through panel discussions, speaker series, community partnerships, and hands-on student engagement opportunities, CEBE aims to serve as a regional hub for thoughtful, solutions-oriented conversations about the future of the built environment and energy systems.
We welcome opportunities to collaborate with organizations, municipalities, companies, nonprofits, and community groups interested in developing programming, sponsoring events, supporting student engagement, or partnering on shared initiatives. To explore collaboration opportunities, please contact Associate Director Max Clark at mclark@washjeff.edu .

Getting the Most from Your Building: Smart Assessment and Monitoring
Jim Armstrong, Siemens
Building commissioning helps ensure that building systems are planned, installed, tested, optimized, and monitored so they operate as intended. Through smart assessment, system optimization, performance documentation, and ongoing monitoring, commissioning projects can reduce energy costs, improve occupant comfort, and support long-term building performance.
The webinar is free and open to the public. Continuing Legal Education approval is available in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. Contact the Washington County Bar Association at wcba@washcobar.org for CLE information.
