ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Now in its tenth year, the annual Montgomery County Energy Summit has offered cutting-edge education focused on the latest trends in green building, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and related commercial, multifamily, and residential topics in Montgomery County. Our target audience includes building owners, property managers, developers, energy contractors, and other sustainability professionals working in Montgomery County and the larger DMV area. This event typically attracts 300+ attendees, speakers, and exhibitors.
Montgomery County DEP would like to thank the US Green Building Council National Capital Region for their years of partnership in making this event a success.
The 2023 Energy Summit will take place at the metro-accessible Silver Spring Civic Building in downtown Silver Spring, MD.
Montgomery County continues to adopt policies and programs that move the building sector to an energy efficient, low-carbon future in line with the County’s climate action goals. Such policies require additional buildings and types to benchmark and report energy use data each year, set a framework for building energy performance standards that require most existing buildings to become more energy efficient over time, require all-electric new construction, and continue to adopt progressive building codes.
This year’s Summit will focus on preparing the commercial building community for compliance with energy benchmarking, building energy performance standards, and emerging building codes. We will explore requirements and opportunities in these areas and provide hands-on learning opportunities as well as case studies from commercial and multifamily buildings. The Summit will provide education sessions, hands-on Q&A and support, an “innovation alley” showcasing products and services, and a networking reception.
