Leaders across Chicago’s clean energy and transportation sectors gathered last December for AEG Chicago’s Mobility and Transportation Stakeholder Challenge. The primary focus of the discussion? How to achieve greater social equity in mobility.
The Pedal Towards “Bikes-to-Bus” Programs in Boston: AEG Boston Mobility & Transportation
The majority of American commuters use their single person vehicles as their main mode of transportation to work. This presents a major barrier to reducing the amount of non-electric vehicles as their primary mode of commuter transit. In order to reach the goal of net zero emissions by 2050, Boston is encouraging commuters to utilize public transit, carpool, bike, or walk. To decrease the amount of cars on the road and benefit the health of the community, a solution is to make public transit, walking, and biking more accessible to commuters.

2018 CAE Q2 Recap: Smart Buildings and Grid Modernization
On May 31, 2018, Chicago Advanced Energy held its Stakeholder Breakfast on the topic of Smart Buildings and Grid Modernization. Once the room was at capacity and coffee was on the table, H.G. Chissell – CEO of Advanced Energy Group – kicked off the meeting. The group then heard five presentations from discussion leaders, who offered their takes on smart buildings and grid modernization:
2018 CAE Q1 Recap: Resiliency, Critical Infrastructure, and Microgrids
2017 WAE Q2 Recap: Smart Buildings & Grid Modernization
Could there be a more perfect venue than the U.S. Green Building Council’s headquarters for hosting our Washington Advanced Energy (WAE) Q2 2017 Stakeholder Meeting on Smart Buildings & Grid Modernization? We could not think of one. Dave Witek (Senior Vice President, Finance, Operations & Administration) and the USGBC Team graciously hosted us in their LEED Platinum (2009) space that showcased what smart buildings can do.
