Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center
@ EcoTrust
721 NW 9th Ave, Second Floor
Portland, Oregon

The Digitizing Decarbonization Summit brings together forward-thinking professionals and innovative service providers to accelerate the decarbonization of our built environment. This one-day event is designed to foster collaboration between code-savvy developers and industry leaders, enabling the creation of smarter, more connected solutions for energy efficiency and electrification.

Participants will explore how to identify and streamline manual processes, integrate siloed software platforms, and unlock new efficiencies within their organizations. Industry professionals will gain insights into how digital tools can address their most pressing challenges, while developers will deepen their understanding of customer needs through interactive sessions and real-world problem-solving.

A highlight of the summit is a hands-on workshop where attendees will collaborate to identify pain points and co-develop strategies that bridge gaps between existing tools and services. Together, we aim to build a unified, interoperable software stack that connects data across platforms—paving the way for rapid scaling of decarbonization efforts.

This interactive and intimate gathering will feature panel discussions, collaborative workshops, and ample opportunities to form new partnerships. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas, fresh strategies, and valuable connections to drive progress in their organizations—and across the industry.

Join us as we work together to digitize decarbonization and create a future where innovation accelerates sustainability.

Note that the event is immediately prior to the ACEEE Hot Air and Water Forum in Portland, Oregon.

Agenda

  • Setting the stage for the day: Why digitizing decarbonization matters, the challenges we need to address, and how this group can work together to move the industry forward.

  • These steps are often handled separately, leading to inefficiencies, high soft costs, and slow adoption. But new tools and workflows are already making it possible to connect data, streamline these processes, and get customers into the right solutions faster.

  • Financing and incentives should make electrification easier—but instead, they often create barriers. The good news? There are solutions already in play that are reducing friction and making it easier to move projects forward.

  • Once an upgrade is installed, its long-term impact depends on how well data flows between customers, contractors, and the grid. The systems for this are evolving fast—how can we tap into what’s already working?

  • Contractors are critical to scaling electrification—but they’re also the ones who face the most day-to-day friction. This collaborative session will map out the biggest pain points and work toward solutions that make digital workflows practical and valuable for contractors.

  • The industry can’t scale effectively without shared, interoperable digital infrastructure—but how do we make that a reality? This session will focus on defining what’s missing and what’s needed to build an industry-wide standard that companies can actually use.
