Strategies for Controlling Your Energy Costs In an Inflated and Uncertain Energy Market
Presented by: Angus Partners
Volatile economy. Volatile property values. Volatile energy costs and demand. Many building owners/management teams have struggled to balance their energy usage with unpredictable fuel costs and weather. This seminar will provide you with concrete, real-world strategies for controlling—and perhaps even reducing—annual energy costs.
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Energy Efficiency: Thermal & Moisture Management
Presented by: James W. Perling, Dow Building Solutions
Employing the latest in Building Science, this session will focus on how to design the complete building envelope to best manage moisture and heat loss while meeting the new 2007 ASHRAE energy codes and obtaining maximum LEED points.
This program is designed to provide the design community with the knowledge to make informed decisions when specifying a system solution in steel stud wall assembly that will deliver high thermal performance, moisture management, and minimize air infiltration.
2:15 pm - 2:45 pm
The Essential Energy Management System (EMS)
Presented by: U.S. Energy Group
Managing a portfolio of buildings today requires essential energy management technologies – boiler controls, wireless sensors, ultrasonic fuel measurement and proactive/interactive information monitoring on the Internet. In this session, we will demonstrate a practical approach, field-tested in over 3000 buildings, that is easy to understand and to implement. EMS systems are proven to provide 15-40% savings on fuel-use and payback on your investment in under 2 years.
3:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Fuel Cells for Buildings: Overview and Real World Examples
Presented by: UTC Power
From office buildings to supermarkets to hospitals; fuel cells are providing significant energy savings, reduced carbon footprint and assured business continuity to facilities – with an attractive payback period. This presentation will show real world examples of how fuel cells produce power and thermal energy on-site achieving overall system efficiencies up to 90% (lowering energy costs), reduce emissions (carbon footprint reduction / LEED) and reduce a facilities reliance on the utility grid (business continuity).

Fire Alarm Retrofitting – Pros & Cons
Presented by: Gamewell FCI
This lecture will discuss the current trend of doing a fire alarm system retrofit rather than a full fire alarm replacement. With the economy being soft, retrofitting is increasingly becoming a money saving option but there are potential pitfalls to be aware of that could end-up costing more than a full system replacement. We will discuss the upside of retrofitting and identify the hazards.
