"Now in its 11th year, the Annual Montgomery County Energy Summit stands as a milestone in our sustainability journey and reinforces our commitment to reducing Montgomery County’s carbon footprint,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. “Efficient building electrification will be one of the most effective ways to reduce energy demand and carbon pollution from the built environment. I want to thank the commercial building sector for collaborating with us and recognizing their pivotal role in achieving our County’s climate goals to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80 percent by 2027 and 100 percent by 2035.”
Registration for the two-day summit is $75 ($40 for single-day access) and includes keynote speakers, educational sessions, hands-on demonstrations, panel discussions and the opportunity for building owners to receive technical support for new requirements. Both days of the Energy Summit will showcase Innovation Alley, where exhibitors will present inventive solutions covering building energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, building decarbonization, healthy building practices and zero-emission vehicles.
"I look forward to hosting and participating in this year's summit in my inaugural year as the DEP director. I am inspired by the commitment of our building owners, industry and the nonprofit community to achieve Montgomery County’s sustainability goals,” said DEP Director Jon Monger. “I welcome all stakeholders in the commercial and multifamily building industries to join us at this year's summit as collaborative efforts with government, private, and non-profit sectors are essential to achieving our shared climate goals.”
