Phoenix, Arizona
August 3-6, 2008
The Premier Energy Training Workshop and Exposition for Federal Agencies!
Session Details — Technology
1. HVAC Technologies
| Speakers: | |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Monday, 8/4/2008, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM |
Take-Aways:
Some newer, less-understood HVAC technologies to reduce energy use and peak demand.
Description:
HVAC systems are a major energy consumer in commercial buildings and are usually the largest contributor to peak demand during hot weather. This session will discuss newer technologies — aerosol duct sealing, variable-refrigerant volume, and dedicated outdoor air systems — that can reduce overall energy consumption and peak demand.

2. Enterprise-Level Facility Management Systems Integration
| Speakers: | |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Monday, 8/4/2008, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM |
Take-Aways:
How the latest generation of enterprise-level facility management systems can integrate an entirely new (to us) industry of data analysis and management tools.
Description:
Discover the advances in technology that will allow enterprise-level facility management systems to interface with commercial off-the-shelf systems, services, and back-office database applications. Explore the mature tools used every day in other industries for data mining and aggregation to unlock the valuable secrets held in your facility’s database.

3. Specialized Buildings
| Speakers: | Brian Castiglia |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Monday, 8/4/2008, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM |
Take-Aways:
Strategies for meeting energy challenges in specialized buildings.
Description:
Explore the interesting and unique challenges of specialized, energy-intensive buildings such as labs, hospitals, and others. Learn about the advantages of new energy-conservation technologies, strategies, and innovative applications developed for these circumstances, and how they can help you reduce energy consumption without adversely affecting your mission - in non-specialized buildings too.

4. Lighting
| Speakers: | |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Tuesday, 8/5/2008, 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM |
Take-Aways:
News of newer and underutilized technologies to reduce lighting loads.
Description:
Lighting loads can be a building's largest year-round energy consumer. This session will discuss some newer technologies that can reduce that load, as well as some older technologies that are not well understood and may be underutilized — HID lighting dimmers, lighting controls, and hybrid daylighting using fiber optics.

5. On-Site Generation
| Speakers: | Jeffery A. Anderson |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Tuesday, 8/5/2008, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM |
Take-Aways:
Technology choices for securing a steady supply of energy, and the latest in on-site generation.
Description:
Delve into the latest options for on-site generation and while aligning with related EO 13423 requirements. The experts will discuss technologies, applications, life cycle evaluations, sustainable performance, and environmental footprints.

6. Fuel Cells: Clean Technology Success Stories
| Speakers: | |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Tuesday, 8/5/2008, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM |
Take-Aways:
Case studies of successful fuel cell applications in federal and private-sector facilities.
Description:
As a result of EO 13423, federal agencies are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3% each year through 2015. Fuel cells are a viable technology that combines environmental benefits with improvements in reliability and efficiency. Project planning, financing, and installation issues will be covered in this session.

8. Technology Innovations in Energy Security
| Speaker: | |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Wednesday, 8/6/2008, 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM |
Take-Aways:
Value-added technologies to improve energy security options for inside in fence.
Description:
Learn what you can do to begin scrutinizing your on-site energy supply. Learn from experts who have selected, engineered, procured, and constructed on-site technologies that will be ready and able to deliver energy security to satisfy the demand during adverse conditions.

9. New Innovations in LEDs
| Speakers: | |
| Track: | Technology |
| Date/Time: | Wednesday, 8/6/2008, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM |
Take-Aways:
Learn about DOE’s solid-state-lighting demonstration program, the LED products that are ready for deployment, and those that are just over the horizon.
Description:
Light-emitting diodes can save significant amounts of energy. Since LEDs are fundamentally different from traditional lighting, current standards and evaluation methods no longer apply. We will discuss what DOE's demonstration has discovered and how they are changing the standards. We will also cover LED products that are available now and what will be available soon.
