Building Tour – Woodcraft Industries – Molalla Plant – October 23, 2:00-3:30 pm

The Association of Energy Engineers Columbia River Chapter (AEE CRC) and Ecogate are pleased to announce an upcoming building tour of the Woodcraft Industries – Molalla Plant.  Woodcraft, a cabinet door manufacturer located in Molalla, has been an active participant with Energy Trust of Oregon’s Production Efficiency program and incorporated energy management into its core business practices. Over the past decade, the facility has completed nearly a dozen energy efficiency projects ranging from lighting, to compressed air, to dust collection and vacuum system upgrades.

Join us for a facility tour highlighting the energy and non-energy benefits of the upgraded systems in place at Brentwood including their Ecogate© on-demand dust collection system.

In addition, there will be an optional happy hour after the tour from 4-6 pm at Wild Hare Saloon, 1656 South Beavercreek Rd. in Oregon City to continue the conversation and networking (AND avoid the rush-hour traffic back into Portland). There will be some tasty appetizers and one drink included. Come join us!

Energy Efficiency Trends in the Cannabis Industry

Kevin Campbell

Account Manager

Energy 350

The rapidly expanding cannabis industry is a significant source of load growth in several states that have legalized recreational use. This load growth coupled with inefficient incumbent technology make the cannabis industry ripe with efficiency potential. However, there are a host of technological and social barriers to unlocking this potential. This presentation will provide an overview of the energy using systems, energy analysis techniques, energy efficiency technologies related to cannabis grow operations.

Presenter:

As an Account Manager for Energy 350, Kevin has worked with numerous cannabis growers throughout Oregon to evaluate energy efficiency potential and help them reduce their operating costs. However, his work is not limited to cannabis projects. He has experience working on energy projects throughout the industrial and commercial sectors. Kevin has a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota and a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from Portland State University.
