DR-Expo 2007 Moves Demand Response to Forefront of America's Energy Sustainability Agenda
As American businesses wrestle with sustainability and the prospect of even higher energy costs, competitive energy suppliers and members of the building automation industry are coming together at DR Expo 2007 to collaborate on ways to fast-track energy demand response solutions.
October 12, 2007
The two-day DR Expo 2007 conference brings together energy suppliers, ISOs, building automation vendors, businesses and environmental leaders.
The goal of the event is to deliver the perspective and tools to move demand response from initial deployments to a mainstream business practice.
A highlight of the conference is the luncheon presentation by business writer and consultant Andrew Winston, author of Green to Gold. Winston bridges the business and environmental communities with his book by exploring what works -- and doesn't work -- for companies striving to build green strategies into their core business values and strategies.
The conference will open with a keynote by Clem Palevich of Constellation Energy. Palevich will address the role of demand response in driving sustainable energy and new carbon impact initiatives. He heads Constellation Energy's Sustainable Energy Solutions Group.
"As American business, especially building and manufacturing owners, comes under increasing pressure to harness new, efficient and sustainable energy-use practices, the deployment of innovative demand response solutions from the energy and building automation industries becomes a national imperative," said Anto Budiardjo, president and CEO of event organizer Clasma Events, Inc.
