<div>Two DOE BTO-sponsored events coming to the Bay Area this week. As part of a recent <a href="http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/bto-catalyst"><font color="#0563C1"><u>collaboration</u></font></a> opened with the SunShot Catalyst program, BTO is holding a
series of Catalyst Jamathon events around the country. The Jamathons are in-person events where entrepreneurs, developers, working professionals, students, and mentors work towards crafting video pitches for software product/startup ideas that address key
problems in the area of building operations.</div>
