GreenBusiness Works EXPO to Feature Special Track:
“Conference within a Conference” Energy Focus
ATLANTA – The conversation is conservation at the GreenBusiness Work EXPO’s Conference within a conference on the future of energy. The special energy track will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 27 at the GreenBusiness Work EXPO 2010: “Poised for Prosperity,” located at the Cobb Galleria.
Energy efficiency and sustainability are at the heart of the EXPO’s “conference within a conference,” sponsored by Servidyne, an Atlanta-based company that helps businesses optimize building performance, and the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance, a nonprofit coalition that promotes energy efficiency to improve quality of life in the Southeast region.
“While the adoption of solar, wind, and biomass energy gets a great deal of press, the largest and least expensive resource to help meet our future energy needs in Georgia and across the Southeast actually lies in our existing buildings,” said Todd Jarvis, president of Servidyne. “Working together to improve the energy efficiency of these buildings can free up 20 percent or more of their energy consumption, helping to fund future economic growth across the region. Importantly, this resource is also far cheaper to develop and bring to market than renewables or new generating capacity.”
When it comes to energy efficiency, this region is particularly poised for prosperity.
“The Southeast has traditionally lagged in the adoption of energy efficiency programs, but over the last few years more attention has brought energy efficiency programs and practices to the forefront,” said Ben Taube, executive director of the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance. “As the South looks at new energy needs, SEEA is committed to making energy efficiency cost effective across the region and sees the value of sharing best practices on energy efficiency programs that are returning an investment to building owners within months.”
The Energy Conference within a Conference features session such as:
- Energy Policy and Finance – An exploration of the intersection between energy policy and finance programs to broker innovative progress.
- How to Design and Implement a Strategic Energy Program — an introduction to starting a strategic energy program that will create a competitive advantage for your organization.
- Delivering Energy Efficiency and Sustainability – a discussion on best practices by some of the leading practitioners of energy efficiency and sustainability.
- What is a Smart Grid – an explanation of the effort to generate, transmit, deliver and manage energy through an intelligent grid and the various smart grid applications across the country.
