Keynote: Impact of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
This recently passed Energy Information and Security Act not only covers some well publicized sections (requirements for transition to compact fluorescent lights), it also contains a number of areas related to Commercial Buildings. This includes new requirements for energy efficiency in federal buildings, programs for schools and the establishment of a group focused on the delivery of Net Zero Energy Commercial Buildings. The Alliance to Save Energy was instrumental in helping to form and guide many elements of the bill. Jeff Harris will explain the key elements of the bill and how it is expected to impact your current and future projects.

Lighting Control |
Benchmarking, Assessing, and Improving Performance |
| Lighting automation is required by most commercial energy codes, with multiple strategies available to achieve energy savings. And, daylighting control systems contributes to further energy savings and offer increased occupant comfort. This session features experts in both automatic lighting controls as well as daylighting controls who will discuss code compliance, technologies, application and integration with building automation systems.

Energy and Demand Response
Description: Facilities are becoming increasingly connected to utilities, and interest in renewable energy options continues to rise. Addressing the increasing complexity of energy options and managing energy in real time are growing challenges. This session will look at how you can better plan for and deal with these changes and how new initiatives will help.

The Role of Controls in Green and Sustainable Buildings
Descrition: Green buildings is more than a concept, it's a reality. One of the key strategies for implementing a perpetually green building is redefining the position of the building automation system and specifically the control system. Knowing when and how to control can significantly impact the costs and ROI over the life of the building. Considering applying for LEED certification? Do you know the impact of the BMS system on your qualification plan? This session will discuss the value of controls in going green.
|
Maintaining Building Intelligence
Description: Intelligent maintenance practices and processes are critical to maintaining an intelligent building. This session examines processes and tools available to assist owners and operators in their efforts to assess building intelligence, and to keep their intelligent buildings running at optimum levels of performance.
|
| 12pm- 1pm |
Lunch |
| 1pm-2:30pm |
Industry Case Studies
Learning from others is one of the best ways of adopting new concepts. Intelligent Building Controls is no exception. This session will present several case studies of how others have approached their campus or enterprise and have leveraged the benefits of good system design and specifications.
|
Master Planning – The Value of a Whole Building Approach to Automation
A key to any successful energy efficiency program requires evaluating short term and long term objectives. This session will explore the value of master planning when considering energy efficiency programs and the control systems that are involved in a whole building automation design.
