The agenda for the evening includes a presentation by Ms. Lacey Riddle\, Foc us Oregon Organizer for Focus The Nation who will present a project bas ed on proven solar thermal techniques- The SunnySide Neighbourhood Proje ct Overview. \;\n \;\nSunnyside Neighborhood Project Overview \ ;\n \;\nSunnyside Neighborhood Energy (SunNE) is conceived as a compr ehensive solution to local thermal energy needs. SunNE is a project of N orthwest Neighborhood Energy (N2E)\, a new non-profit incorporated in Or egon. SunNE will eventually be structured as a community-owned district energy (DE) utility powered by renewable sources that will serve Sunnysi de Environmental School and the surrounding historic neighborhood and co mmercial areas. The project is modeled on existing mid-sized DE utilitie s in Sweden\, Denmark and Canada\, which use solar thermal storage and b iofuel boilers to provide thermal energy for detached single-family home s\, multi-family residential and small commercial buildings. Adapting th ese successful international examples for implementation in Oregon gives us a scalable\, replicable model whose economic and environmental impac t will be tremendous. \;\n \;\nPlanned system components include t hermal solar collectors\, mass thermal storage for heating and anticipat ed cooling\, combining water to water and ground-coupled heat pump techn ology\, waste heat recovery\, PV arrays and biofuel boilers for boosting and back-up. A distribution system of hydronic insulated pipes will del iver hot and chilled water for space heating\, cooling and domestic hot water to the school\, several hundred nearby residences\, and commercial buildings. SunNE will operate as a member-owned\, unregulated franchise utility within the City of Portland. \n\nTags: energy\, cleantech\n\nIm ported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456459 URL:http://www.oregon.tie.org/TGS/EM/viewevent/viewEventPT?id_event=2837& from_where=chapter_homepage SUMMARY:TiE Clean Energy SIG LOCATION:Perkins Coie (PDX): 1120 Nw Couch St\, 10th Floor\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090520T171520Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090603T100000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090603T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090520T171520Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090520T171607Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250457221 DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a panel presentation on cleantech financin g – focusing on the nuts and bolts of tapping into government funding.&# 13\;\n \;\nWith the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (also know n as the Stimulus Package) signed into law\, how do emerging cleantech o r renewable energy companies in need of financing access the grants\, lo ans and other funding that can help their business thrive?

Don’t forget to have some fu n. \;\n \;\nIdea Generation: To start\, you should ask the follow ing questions: \;\n1) What issues you and your team would like to ta ckle? (ie. carbon emissions reduction by buildings or vehicles\, solar p otential identifier\, change of personal habits\, e-waste tracking\, etc .) \;\n2) What do other similar applications exist on the market? So metimes\, building on existing apps can resolve a more refined product.& #13\;\n3) What is the marketability? Is it scalable? \;\n \;\nTh e best project ideas are one that you are passionate about\, and have so me components of competition and linkage to social media. \;\n \; \nFinding Data: \;\nWhile you are brainstorming ideas\, you should al so consider data availability as well. It is not the end of the world if you don’t have data sets or APIs to mock up a prototype. Simply build y our own datasets\, even if just a few that are enough for you to test ou t your product. \;\n \;\nSee the Cleanweb Hack resource guide for APIs\, data sets\, sample projects and project ideas.

You ’ll also see examples of VertueLab Entrepreneurs who are making it in Cl imateTech. VertueLab is a ClimateTech non-profit that is focused on help ing Pacific Northwest ClimateTech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. \;\n \;\nIdeas come from anywhere\, and individuals with those ideas often don’t have the entrepreneurial awareness\, tools\, or guidance to get started in their exploration. Also\, entrepreneurship is new in many communities and they need a jumpstart to gain the right knowledge and c onnections to move forward. \;\n \;\nThe best way to discover\, le arn\, and explore entrepreneurship is through a hands-on approach and me eting others that are building technology and can explain by showing. Ju mpStart Weekends are designed to be a comfortable space to gather curiou s individuals and introduce them to tools and methods they can use to ex plore their ideas and get instant feedback and mentorship\, all packaged over a weekend. \;\n \;\nAlthough it's in our mission to address the impacts of climate change\, entrepreneurship is for everyone. We wan t to increase access to entrepreneurship\, and provide the tools and kno wledge to everyone so that we are all part of the solution. So no prior knowledge of ClimateTech is required\, all you need is an idea and the c uriosity to know more and explore in a weekend of fun\, we encourage you to apply! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: free\, startup\, startups\, entrepre neur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, cofounder\, cofounders\, por tland\, pdx\, cleantech\, clean tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250480951 URL:https://www.vertuelab.org/45-camp SUMMARY:45 Camp Jumpstart Weekend LOCATION:Briq Studio: 209 Northwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
