Climate Week NYC Webinar - Roadmap to Resilience: Unlocking the Power of Energy Audits
2025-09-24 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
Strategic energy planning includes bold goals and ambitious targets. But for commercial building owners and operators, resilience starts with practical steps that deliver measurable results. Energy audits are one of the smartest investments you can make—helping you uncover hidden savings, reduce operating costs, and strengthen your building’s market position in a competitive real estate landscape.
Join our team of energy engineers during Climate Week NYC and find out how energy audits act as the roadmap to robust and resilient property assets. Our team will share how energy audits:

Lower energy expenses and increase net operating income (NOI)
Boost tenant satisfaction and retention through improved comfort and reliability
Protect against rising energy costs and climate-related risks
Enhance asset value while meeting investor and tenant sustainability expectations

This is not just about compliance—it’s about using energy audits as a business strategy to future-proof your portfolio. Save your spot now via the link below.

Nonprofit Housing 46th Annual Affordable Housing Conference

Join Bright Power’s Caitlin Rood, Senior Account Manager, as she moderates Achieving Impact and Transformation – Huge Electrification Incentives – Projects and Results at Nonprofit Housing’s 46th Annual Affordable Housing Conference this fall.

Discover how affordable housing owners and developers are leveraging incentives to cover 80–100% of the costs to upgrade domestic hot water and HVAC systems to high-efficiency electric heat pump technology. This session will highlight real-world case studies from Northern California, featuring perspectives from nonprofit affordable housing owners/managers, a multifamily electrification implementer, and a utility data analyst.
Attendees will gain insight into the full process of converting existing buildings from gas to electric systems—including project planning, financing, implementation, and post-installation performance. Presenters will share weather-normalized utility data spanning more than one year (and in some cases over eight years), offering a rare look at measured results.
Learn why electrification is the future for California properties, how mid-cycle projects were funded, the lessons learned along the way, and how these systems are performing today—directly from those who designed, implemented, and manage them.

Panelists Include:

Caitlin Rood, Senior Account Manager, Bright Power (Moderator)
Connie Tang, VP Asset Management BRIDGE Housing
Michael Brod, Senior Project Manager, Sustainability, Jonathan Rose Companies
Michelle Tran, Sustainability Manager, Chinatown Community Development Center

Pro Tour: First Modular Passive House Building in NYC
2025-10-03 12:30 - 17:00
Bright Power is proud to be a sponsor of NESEA’s Pro Tour of Bethany Terraces, the First Modular Passive House Building in NYC.
Learn how in just two weeks, Paul A. Castrucci Architects shipped and assembled 47 modular units from Leola, PA, to East Flatbush, Brooklyn, resulting in this four-story residential complex with affordable, Passive House design.
NESEA invites you to an in-depth tour of this innovative project, which aims to reduce energy use and embodied carbon, while embracing circular building design. This building is the first modular Passive House building in NYC. This 57-unit all-electric building was developed through the Senior Affordable Rental Assistance Program (SARA) and includes 18 units reserved for formerly homeless individuals referred by city agencies. The remaining units are open to the general public.
Bright Power is both the Phius Verifier for this project and provider of building commissioning services at Bethany Terraces. Congratulations to the project team, including RiseBoro Community Partnership.
The event will begin with an opening workshop where the team will discuss the history, goals, and design and construction strategies. Attendees will then break into small groups to tour the facility while hearing more from the interdisciplinary team of experts who made the building possible. After the tour, we’ll regroup for a reception and Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to chat with the day’s speakers and each other.
