Trane Highlights Emerging Energy Technologies For High Performance Buildings
San Diego CA (SPX) Apr 02, 2008 Energy is the single largest operating expense in a typical commercial building with U.S. commercial buildings spending more than $200 billion annually. It's also estimated that 30 percent of energy in buildings is used inefficiently or unnecessarily(1). Bob Vorwald, energy measurement and verification leader for Trane Building Services, will discuss reducing energy use in buildings during a conference next week on "Lean Management Processes for Facilities Management and Capital Projects." He will present at 1:10 p.m. PST, Monday, April 7, and again at 1:45 p.m., Tuesday, April 8, at the San Diego Hilton Resort. Entitled "Application of New Energy Technologies for High Performance Buildings," Vorwald's presentation will examine various emerging energy conservation measures including solar photovoltaic devices, geothermal systems, co-generation, thermal energy storage and infrared thermography. "Energy services and technologies for commercial buildings have been experiencing incredible growth as energy costs and pressure to reduce carbon emissions continue to rise," said Vorwald. "This conference is an important opportunity for facility managers to understand their options and discover how to weigh the benefits of various energy conservation measures for maximum impact on the environment and their operations, as well as their pocketbooks." Vorwald has more than 20 years of experience as a mechanical/project engineer in the building automation systems and energy conservation fields. He's been certified by the Association of Energy Engineers and holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering technology from Purdue University, and a master's of arts in organizational management from the University of Phoenix.
