The credential for a High-Performance Building Operations Professional (HPBOP), was launched recently to address the need for advanced skills standards in commercial building operations. It is believed to be the first of its kind in the industry. . "The inspiration for this was the need to really have skills that support high-performance building operations," says Larry Chang, founding director of the California-based BEST Center, which was begun in 2012 to support publicly funded two- and four-year colleges with programs in HVAC, controls, building automation systems and energy/facilities management.

In a discovery by researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands, offshore wind turbines have become a haven for benthos — the community of marine organisms that live in, on or around the seafloor. There are more soil animals per square meter living in the foundations of offshore wind farms than on the floor of the North Sea, a press release from Leiden University said.

Rupert Newland, CEO of UK renewables technology provider Arenko Group, said that co-located projects are something of an unknown quantity at the moment. "There isn't a proven commercial model across this sector," he said. This, he continued, is because of the inherent differences between solar or wind and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Oil and gas upstream majors — ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, TotalEnergies and Eni — will continue to exercise caution in exploration spending this year, with drilling activity poised for a busy year ahead. According to Rystad Energy's research, these major producers will have spent on average a combined $7 billion each year between 2020 and 2024, a sizeable drop from the previous four-year period during which average total spending was $10 billion.
