Greening the Supply Chain With Process Efficiency
The manufacturing sector is taking so many hits in economics and job loss overseas that it has been difficult to remain proactive with environmental policies. However slow, though, the push toward eco-friendly packaging has been a steady one. Many manufacturers today are taking additional steps beyond incorporating recycled content to make the entire board making process, from pulping to converting, better for the environment. In a climate where the paperboard manufacturer is competing for business at every level, diversification into eco-friendly services has made difference. Process efficiency begins with the use of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that collects, manages and distributes production data. An Operations Execution System (OES) that enables manufacturers to increase production while reducing inventory, enhancing customer satisfaction while improving return on assets is also needed. This presentation will address what manufacturing process efficiency is, and what it takes to move beyond MES to OES to achieve green sustainable technologies in manufacturing. Attendees will learn how to harmonize business practices across their enterprise, remove waste from their operations and remove idle inventory from their supply chains, as well as protect profit margins while adopting sustainable production process.

Reduce Then Produce
While reducing power consumption allows for the best Return on Investment, there comes a point beyond which reduction in consumption is not practical without going back to the stone ages. This is where Renewable energy sources like solar energy in particular plays an important part. Distributed generation (DG) of electricity is the wave of the future. Even as we seek ways to reduce consumption, we continue to have additional demands. At best, we can reduce the rate at which we will need additional coal fired and non renewable energy power-plants. In order to mitigate these additional needs, power plants that convert renewable energy sources become critical to the success of reducing the carbon foot print. The presentation will cover the economics of solar PV and show how energy conservation measures contribute to greatly reducing Peak demands. Where possible, real life data will be woven into the presentation to demonstrate how Renewable energy sources like Solar PV help with sustainability. Laks M.

Financing for Energy Efficiency Projects
With many businesses tightening budgets, the implementation of energy efficiency projects is often postponed.  This presentation will illustrate how financing can help companies implement energy efficiency projects without costly delays or budget increases.  How does a company achieve these seemingly conflicting goals - to reduce operating expenses while keeping the budget balanced? Companies can use current financing options to fund a variety of energy efficiency projects, without increasing budgets. Most facilities can reduce their energy costs enough to create a revenue neutral or positive cash flow from the energy savings.  Even in the short term, the monthly savings on utility bills are frequently greater then the monthly loan payments to finance the energy efficient upgrades. The presentation will also cover which types of energy projects can be financed, types of financing vehicles, funding sources, various loan/lease structures, cost of funds, why lending like this is different from other types of financing and how the financing of energy saving programs can benefit customers and vendors alike.

The Barriers to Sustainability in Existing Commercial Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate is one of the slowest market segments to embrace energy efficiency and sustainable practices in existing buildings. Although sustainability programs such as LEED have gained traction in new construction, this is a fraction of the total square footage of the total commercial building stock in the US. This is due to some unique circumstances present in existing commercial real estate that have created significant financial barriers to the adoption of sustainability. This presentation will focus on these problems and present several solutions to overcoming the obstacles they create.
This session will not only help attendees understand the real obstacles that the commercial real estate industry is facing in embracing true energy efficiency, but also get real examples of solutions that are out there making things happen. People walking away from this session will come to the realization that we are on the cusp of seeing some real change very soon.

Ventilation Energy Savings with Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification
With rising the prices and decreased reliability of electricity, building owners are evaluating cost-effective means to satisfy the stricter IAQ standards demanded by the government and industry. Due to the need for increased outside air, owners are realizing that traditional building air conditioning, which typically uses cooling coils with refrigeration for cooling, is an expensive process. There is potential for significant ventilation system energy savings by incorporating a liquid desiccant type building energy reduction system. With an integrated systems approach, these systems efficiently use waste heat and also support on-site power generation and co-generation. This technology can be applied to office buildings, research facilities, laboratories, bio-tech facilities, microelectronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and clean rooms. This presentation will explore the potential energy savings offered by liquid desiccant type building energy reduction systems, which use waste heat and support on-site power generation/co-generation.  Applicable to office buildings, research facilities, laboratories, bio-tech facilities, microelectronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and clean rooms.

Want to Save 86 Percent in Data Center Operational Costs – How Deployment of Power/Cooling in a Box Can Help
Discover the next generation of modular power/cooling utilities and how right-sized, energy efficient and environmentally neutral systems are becoming more and more common. System level efficiency is critical in achieving a high overall efficiency. Right-sizing the power and cooling infrastructure compounds the savings. In fact, containerized high efficiency UPS systems can save the end user approximately 86 percent alone in the first year of operation compared to a 10 megawatt ‘brick and mortar’ legacy UPS system. An over-sized infrastructure can sit idle for weeks, months or even years before optimal capacity use has been reached. The cost of running unused capacity negatively impacts the overall efficiency of the data center regardless of highly efficient systems. Modular power and cooling in a box helps to avoid this by rapidly deploying power and cooling infrastructure as needed rather than everything up front.
