Green Intelligent Buildings Conference


8:00-9:00AM	Continental Breakfast/ Registration
DAY 1
9:00-10:00am	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.
10:00 - 10:15	Break
	Workshops
10:15 - 11:45	Schools & Government	Commercial/Office
	Workshop on intelligent buildings and sustainability by market sector illustrate some real intelligent building projects and how they contribute to and deliver on sustainability, and how they might plan for the future.
11:45am-1:00pm	Lunch
	Track 1: Technology	Process Programs and Planning
1:00 - 2:30pm	Emerging Technology New technologies offer great potential for delivering lower cost, higher performance projects. This session looks at several promising new technologies, including case studies and a look at what's coming next.	Programs Want to know the latest developments on industry programs and rating systems? This session provides updates on industry programs as well as on green building and intelligent building rating systems.
2:30-2:45pm	Break
2:45 - 4:15pm	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.	How is intelligence in buildings measured and benchmarked? This session examines some of the processes used to benchmark, assess, and improve building performance, and discusses approaches that support intelligent and sustainable building projects.
4:30pm	Networking Reception/Table Top Displays Open
6:00pm	Table Top Displays Close
Day 2
8-9am	Continental Breakfast/ Registration
9:00 - 10:30am	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.
10:45 - 12:00pm	Technology	Process, Programs, and Planning
	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.
2:30pm	End of Conference
