Co-Sponsored by: The US Department of Energy ASHRAE IEA ECBCS Annex 46 This sixth annual energy technology workshop is designed for building energy managers, design engineers and architects, contractors, decision-makers, energy auditors and Energy Services Companies. Previous workshops in Orlando (2005), Chicago (2006), Dallas (2007), New York (2008), and Chicago (2009) brought together U.S. and international facility energy experts. The workshops provided a forum to share information on different national and international energy saving technologies, and measures for new buildings and building retrofits.
The 2010 6th Technology Workshop was conducted in conjunction with the 2010 ASHRAE Winter Conference, with the theme of the workshop being energy use reduction in individual buildings and multi-building sites today for meeting the energy goals of tomorrow.
The following topics were addressed at the workshop:
Ongoing government energy programs and regulations
Energy assessment for building retrofits - tools and strategies
