Several regions in Massachusetts were awarded Regional Sustainability Planning Grants in 2010 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, including the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, Metropolitan Area Planning Council, the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission and 2011 Preferred Sustainability Status holder, the Institute for Energy and Sustainability. Panelists from each agency will share how these plans will improve sustainability in Massachusetts communities, what we can learn from the similarities and differences of sustainability planning in each region and how groups and individuals can connect and participate in the planning development.

Concurrent Sessions 2B: When Communities Take the Lead: Green Computing, Solar, Wind http://scholarworks.umass.edu/clean_energy/2011/Presentations/17 http://scholarworks.umass.edu/clean_energy/2011/Presentations/17 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:45:00 PDT Several exciting clean energy projects in Western MA are capturing state and national attention. The initiatives discussed in this session will demonstrate how communities are being proactive in deploying cleantech solutions, unleasing the potential of the innovation that can help our economy grow.

Concurrent Sessions 2A: Big Time Conservation http://scholarworks.umass.edu/clean_energy/2011/Presentations/16 http://scholarworks.umass.edu/clean_energy/2011/Presentations/16 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:45:00 PDT This session will cover the largest of the commercial and industrial energy conservation projects the Western Massachusetts Electric Company has evaluated. The WMECO customers behind these projects have several things in common: a local conservation "champion," a corporate commitment to reducing energy waste, and an appetite to complete multiple large conservation projects. Yankee Candle will review their campus wide LED lighting project and Trident Alloys will discuss efficiency improvements in large scale process machinery. another perspective will be provided by the O'Connell Energy Group.
