9:15 PANEL DISCUSSION: Mastering The Art Of Pilot Projects: Maximizing The Effectiveness Of Internal And External Benchmarking

Part 2
In most situations the scope and parameters of pilot projects depend on the industry and business a company is in. Therefore, technologies and solutions implemented vary considerably. Nevertheless, some of the technologies and energy management systems deployed can be implemented across the board. During this interactive panel discussion, you will learn how to:

• Identify and mitigate the risk associated with pilot projects
• Select vendors for the project: market analysis, potential pitfalls
• Develop and implement management practices to ensure collaboration between various stakeholders

10:45 Identify Potential Cost Savings By Performing A Comprehensive Analysis Of Your Company’s Energy Needs

In recent times energy markets have gone through some significant changes which largely affected price for energy and companies’ energy needs. Whilst use of traditional energies such as oil and gas has been decreasing, use of electricity and renewable energy has grown. Given all these current changes, what are the best ways to analyze the current and future energy needs of your business? During this interactive session you will learn how to:

• Assess your company’s past and current energy consumption to identify future trends
• Apply various energy monitoring and modelling tools to identify the costs associated with energy consumption
• Develop short and long term strategy to decrease the costs and increase ROI of potential new projects

1:15 PANEL DISCUSSION: Creating Collaboration Between Property Owners And Long-Term Corporate Leasing Companies To Reduce Energy Consumption And Improve Energy Management

In order to maximize internal efficiencies and focus on your business many companies are leasing the buildings they are using. As efficient and effective as this approach is, many companies are finding themselves in the situation when they can not affect energy spend associated with their facility. During this session, you will have a chance to hear from both owners and longterm lessees of corporate real estate that will discuss how to:

• Identify financial benefits for both owners and lessees to build a strong business case for potential renovations
• Develop the strategies to realize potential savings: initial investments, responsibilities assumed
• Monitor and assess technologies deployed to ensure highest possible performance

2:00 Best Practices In Corporate Energy Efficiency Strategies: Learning From The Leaders

With energy prices experiencing historic volatility, and climate regulations looming on the horizon, businesses face a new and complex energy paradigm. To meet these challenges, many firms are developing robust energy efficiency strategies that feature aggressive energy savings targets and strong senior management commitment. Over the last 16 months, the Pew Center has closely studied leading companies to try to identify best practices in energy efficiency strategies. Attend this interactive presentation to hear preliminary findings from the research effort, including:

• Key motivations driving firms to implement aggressive energy efficiency programs
• Common challenges faced by companies trying to maintain and improve upon existing efficiency strategies
• The range of benefits enjoyed by companies with robust corporate energy efficiency strategies, including reduced costs, improved environmental performance, higher employee morale, and greater innovation and productivity.

3:30 Leveraging New Technologies In Lighting To Decrease Operational Costs And Improve Quality Of Lighting: Lighting Retrofits

Benefits of lighting retrofits are very clear to every business: they bring relatively short payback, can be done by existing staff, and can be done in stages which in its turn lead to less downtime and initial cost outlay. But what are the best in class solutions that currently exist in the market and what are the best ways to deploy them? During this session you will learn how to:

• Perform the cost benefit analysis of various lighting solutions to identify the most suitable one for your business
• Leverage occupancy sensors to reduce the waste associated with the lighting of unused or unoccupied space
• Leverage alternative light sources: low-wattage incandescent lamps, electro luminescent panels etc.
