The Fast-Changing Energy Policy Landscape
The energy world is changing fast. Renewables are now a major part of Texas' grid, generating 25% of the energy used so far this year. Distributed energy resources like solar and storage are quickly becoming more affordable, and microgrids for resiliency and cost savings are scaling. Energy efficiency policy has not advanced at the state level since 2010 but there is new momentum building, and electric vehicles, including electric buses, are rapidly gaining market share.

Killing Mold, Mildew, Viruses, & Bacteria 24/7/365
We are living in a new world, where the idea that a single virus can shut the world down is a reality. Even before COVID 19, building owners constantly struggled with controlling mold, mildew, virus and bacteria. We still have a large percentage of buildings that are "SICK", and buildings that are breeding grounds for germs, leading to absenteeism and lower performance. We will discuss technologies and focus on a unique solution that is proven safe and effective at killing these germs, 24/7/365.
