Trane to Highlight Money-Saving Green Technologies at Global Energy Conference
Buildings in the U.S. account for approximately 40 percent of national energy consumption, and global energy usage is projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. By improving the efficiency of buildings, organizations can free up considerable energy resources and money for investment in other areas.
With that savings in mind, Bob Vorwald, measurement and verification manager for Trane, will explain the financial and environmental pay-offs of energy efficient buildings at the 2009 World Energy Engineering Conference (WEEC). Keith Willis, Ph. D., new technologies leader for Trane, will moderate this panel.
Details of the presentation are:
When: November 5, 2009 at 2:30 p.m. (Conference is November 4-6)
Where: Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.

Companies are regularly introducing new and emerging technologies for buildings, but are businesses ready to apply and adopt them? Vorwald will educate attendees on emerging tools and technologies to drive businesses toward greater efficiency. These technologies include design stage tools and those specific to construction; building performance; and operation and renovation. He will demonstrate why there is no need to wait to make existing buildings more energy efficient - there are many proven systems and services available today to do the job - and he will discuss emerging technologies on the horizon.
Maureen J. Lally, vice president, Americas marketing for the Trane commercial business, will also present at the conference. In a down economy, the use of every taxpayer and tuition dollar is scrutinized in schools. However, school administrators do not have to put high performance school investments on hold as dollars allocated to these initiatives can reap financial returns and benefits to the community that are invaluable. Lally will make the case for green schools in a down economy, explaining how to create differentiated offerings for schools by understanding the needs of the school administration, faculty and students.
To make it easier and more financially feasible to turn new and existing schools into green schools, Lally's presentation will offer guidance for gaining the funding and cutting the red tape for going green. The presentation will include:
- Legislation summary, programs, incentives and grants for creating green schools
- Tools, programs and offers for school that address the goals and objectives of ARRA stimulus funding.

Now in its 32nd year, the World Energy Engineering Congress is one of the most important energy events for professionals in all areas of the energy field. The WEEC, presented by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), is a comprehensive forum focusing on how economic and market forces, new technologies, regulatory developments and industry trends merge to shape an organization's energy and economic future.
Trane is a WEEC Platinum Sponsor. At the conference, Trane leaders will be available at Exhibit Show booth 601 where attendees can view interactive demos of Trane energy-saving solutions for designing and analyzing building systems, and managing building operations - especially in education, healthcare, and government facilities. Trane is also hosting the Opening Session Coffee on Wednesday, November 4, at 8:00-11:30 am in Ballroom A.
