Webinars

In this kickoff to the “Don’t Panic!” series, Dr. David Bliss introduces AB 2511 and the new power resiliency standards facing skilled nursing facilities. This foundational webinar outlines what’s required, what constitutes compliance, and the basic options facilities have for meeting the 96-hour backup power mandate.
Designed for SNF administrators, compliance officers, and healthcare facility engineers just beginning their AB 2511 planning journey.

⏱️ Chapters:
00:00 – Welcome & Webinar Overview
01:30 – Understanding AB 2511 and Legislative Intent
03:00 – What Counts as “Alternate Power”?
05:00 – Overview of Facility Assessment Process
07:00 – Options for Compliance: Existing Generators, Upgrades, Microgrids
09:00 – Timeline and Regulatory Expectations
12:00 – Key Stakeholders: CDPH, HCAI, Fire Code
15:00 – Resources & Planning Next Steps
18:00 – Final Q&A and Wrap-Up

✅ Key Takeaways:
• All California SNFs must meet the 96-hour alternate power mandate.
• HVAC and critical equipment must now be supported by backup power.
• Compliance starts with a facility assessment identifying deficiencies.
• Facilities can use existing systems, diesel generators, or microgrids.
• Early engagement with HCAI and engineering teams is essential.

2026 Energy Essentials for Healthcare Facilities

Hospitals can’t gamble with power. Every second matters. A brief voltage drop can knock out imaging systems. A blackout can interrupt surgery. And each year, the aging grid grows more unstable. The essential energy strategy for 2026? Hybrid microgrids. These systems combine solar, batteries, fuel cells, and backup generators into

The Importance of Real-Time Monitoring in Microgrid Performance

Why Real-Time Microgrid Monitoring Matters For hospitals, data centers, and industrial facilities, energy isn’t optional, it’s mission-critical. Every flicker, surge, or outage puts people, production, or patient care at risk. Microgrids offer the reliability and control these facilities need. But what makes a good microgrid great? Real-time monitoring. Faraday Microgrids

Microgrid Maintenance: How to Maximize System Efficiency (And Beat Generators at Their Own Game)

When the power goes out, your facility can’t afford to go dark. Whether you manage a hospital, manufacturing/processing facility, or data center, uninterrupted power is critical. Yet traditional backup systems, especially diesel generators, are expensive to maintain, inefficient, and increasingly unreliable. That’s why more facility leaders are turning to microgrids:
