Cleanweb Hackathon in NYC!
Update: Bill Weihl, Head of Sustainability at Facebook, will be a keynote speaker on Friday night and one of the judges!
Join Clean Energy Connections September 28-30th at the second Cleanweb Hackathon NYC! The Cleanweb Hackathon NYC is an upcoming gathering that brings together software developers, designers and entrepreneurs to brainstorm and create innovative products, apps, and solutions to global resource constraints. At the Hackathon, participants are challenged to build applications that tackle energy, waste, water, transportation and other sustainability issues by leveraging web and mobile technologies. The teams of hackers are equipped with datasets, APIs, pizza, and coffee, and have 28 hours to produce working apps, products, and hacks to be presented to a select panel of judges. This event is part of the Cleanweb Hackathon Series that began in San Francisco in September 2011 and has upcoming events in 10 cities around North America and Europe.
The Cleanweb Hackathon will commence Friday evening with a kickoff social at AlleyNYC from 6:30pm to 9pm where participants can deliver a two-minute pitch of their ideas in an effort to recruit teammates. On Saturday morning, all competitors will come back to AlleyNYC where they will spend the next 30 hours brainstorming and developing cleanweb applications. The following day will include a press conference for media to meet and mingle with the organizing sponsors, judges, and competitors, as well as the cleanweb application presentations and award ceremony. Check out this article from Rob Day about all the apps that come out of Boston’s cleanweb hackathon last sping.

NYAS Hosts Conference – “Implications of a Data-Driven Built Environment”
Clean Energy Connections is a promotional partner of Implications of a Data-Driven Built Environment, a conference hosted by the New York Academy of Sciences on the utilitzation of data in the built environment. This full-day event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at their offices in Lower Manhattan.
The conference will consist of six moderated panels of three professionals who will present on topics related to the potential for data collected from and about the built environment to transform the real estate industry. It is clear both locally and abroad that the real estate industry is turning to metrics to validate and evaluate buildings. The reasons for this trend are wide-ranging. They span the need to adhere to new regulations, the desire to improve building performance through modeling, measurement, and
benchmarking, and the aspiration to revolutionize building design and engineering to take into account user behavior and to maximize their satisfaction. These objectives stem from recognition by the industry that embracing sustainability will have favorable impacts on efforts to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption, increase environmental health and safety for building occupants, and concurrently positively affect the financial bottom-line.
