Chicago
Energy Efficient Technologies for Government Buildings
New and Retrofits
Chicago, Ilinois, USA, January 27-30, 2009

Organized by:
Engineer Research And Development Center (ERDC)
Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL)

Co-Sponsored by:
The US Department of Energy
IMCOM
ASHRAE
IEA ECBCS Annex 46


This 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 took place in Orlando (2005), Chicago (2006), Dallas (2007), and New York (2008), and brought together more than 130 international facility energy experts.  The workshop will provide a forum to share information on different national and international energy saving technologies, and measures for new buildings and building retrofits.  Past workshop information is accessible at http://www.annex46.org/workshops_seminars.

The 2009 5th Technology Workshop will be conducted in conjunction with the 2009 winter ASHRAE meeting and  IMCOM Energy Summit IV.  The theme of the Workshop/Summit is energy efficiency and conservation measures and their application to typical Government and Public buildings and building sites.  Previous IMCOM Energy Summits focused on Enterprise-scale Energy Management (June 2007), Renewable Energy Technologies (December 2007), and Implementing Renewable Energy Projects (July 2008).
