SUMMARY:Webinar: U.S. Department of Energy’s NY/NJ Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jim Freihaut\, Chair of Penn State’s Dept of Architectural Engineering and Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s NY/NJ Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnership (NY/NJ Onsite Energy TAP). This program is funded by federal tax dollars with the goal of helping industrial and other large energy users transition to clean energy\, lower costs\, reduce emissions\, and contribute to a clean energy economy. As part of DOE’s Industrial Assessment Center Implementation Grant Program\, small and medium-sized manufacturers\, including CEA sites may receive grants of up to $300\,000 to implement recommendations made by the NY/NJ Onsite Energy TAP. Free technical energy assessments are offered regardless of whether or not end users are interested in applying for a grant. However\, a technical assessment is a prerequisite in obtaining that grant. Tune in to learn how you can benefit from incentives and no cost services like screening\, market analysis\, best practices for adopting clean energy technologies. \nRegister Here:\nhttps://cornell.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8SZLMNcKSSGyc4mXZjMBBw

SUMMARY:GLASE Leadership at Cultivate’25
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 12\, 2025\, Dr. Neil Mattson will deliver a session in the Greenhouse Track titled “Smart Lighting Solutions for Superior Crops.” \nNatural sunlight is an energy-efficient way to grow greenhouse crops\, but its variability poses challenges for consistent growth. Traditional lighting control methods often fall short in meeting daily light integral (DLI) targets due to on/off threshold strategies. This session will introduce a dynamic lighting control strategy developed at Cornell University that uses dimmable LEDs to complement natural sunlight\, delivering consistent light levels over extended hours. Learn how this approach improves crop performance and reduces electricity use\, with results from trials on lettuce\, strawberries\, tomatoes\, and implications for floriculture crops. \nAdditional information and registration details are available on the program website.

SUMMARY:Powering Innovation: Controlled Environment Agriculture and the Energy Demands of AI Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this informative and timely webinar exploring the intersection of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and the electric power requirements of data centers that support Artificial Intelligence (AI). Energy Usage represents the second-highest cost center in CEA operations. The rapid growth of AI technologies has led to a surge in data center construction\, with new sites requiring far greater energy consumption per square foot \nThis session will delve into potential synergies across these two energy-intensive sectors. We discuss innovative strategies being explored to ensure economically advantageous operations and sustainable growth. \nRegister Now
