SUMMARY:34th Annual Affordable Housing Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 34th annual Affordable Housing Summit. “The Future of Affordable Housing: Weathering the Storm”. \nLast year’s summit attracted over 600 concerned professionals and citizens\, including community and business leaders\, housing experts\, and activists and this year’s summit promises to be equally enriching. Through diverse panels and open discussion\, we will distill the best ways to fight for continued improvements in access to affordable housing for low-and moderate-income households. \nAlongside our panel discussions\, we also feature initiatives that directly support homebuyers and promote housing accessibility. Our “Breaking the Barrier to Homeownership” contest allows first-time homebuyers to receive closing cost assistance for their first home purchase. Since 2001\, AHCMC and our sponsors have provided over $400\,000 in support to more than 40 moderate-income individuals and families through this grant program. \nTo further enrich our conference activities each year\, we have been fortunate to host a variety of leaders from HUD and local government\, who have played a key role in shaping our discussions. In years past\, we have had the distinct privilege of hosting former HUD Secretaries and officials who have shared their insights on the housing crisis and its impact on our community. Their expertise has helped drive important conversations and deepen our understanding of the challenges and opportunities in affordable housing. \n

SUMMARY:Montgomery County Energy Summit
DESCRIPTION:The annual Montgomery County Energy Summit offers cutting-edge education focused on the latest trends in green building\, energy efficiency\, renewable energy\, and related commercial\, multifamily\, and residential topics in Montgomery County. \nThe target audience includes building owners\, property managers\, developers\, energy contractors\, and other sustainability professionals working in Montgomery County and the larger DMV area. This event typically attracts 300+ attendees\, speakers\, and exhibitors. \nMontgomery County DEP would like to thank the US Green Building Council National Capital Region for their years of partnership in making this event a success. \nThe 2025 Energy Summit will take place at the metro-accessible Silver Spring Civic Building in downtown Silver Spring\, MD. \nMontgomery County continues to adopt policies and programs that move the building sector to an energy efficient\, low-carbon future in line with the County’s climate action goals. Such policies require additional buildings and types to benchmark and report energy use data each year\, set a framework for building energy performance standards that require most existing buildings to become more energy efficient over time\, require all-electric new construction\, and continue to adopt progressive building codes. \nThe Summit focuses on preparing the commercial building community for compliance with energy benchmarking\, building energy performance standards\, and emerging building codes. We will explore requirements and opportunities in these areas and provide hands-on learning opportunities as well as case studies from commercial and multifamily buildings. The Summit will provide education sessions\, hands-on Q&A and support\, an “innovation alley” showcasing products and services\, and a networking reception. \n
