Don't be lethargic lower your energy levels
July 1st 2008 Energy, and the questions that surround it play an increasing role in both our
professional and everyday lives. Here IP&E previews what The Energy Event
offers the visitor helping them differentiate their EPCs from their DECs and all
energy related areas from management to procurement and beyond
The Energy Event, sponsored by
Total Gas & Power takes place on
the 10th and 11th September 2008
at The National Motorcycle Museum,
Birmingham. It is the UK's only annual
exhibition and conference to focus solely
on energy procurement, energy
management and energy efficiency
(including water efficiency).
Key to The Energy Event is the free to
attend, seminar and conference
programme. Hosting conferences and
seminars in 2008 are ESTA (Energy
Services and Technology Association),
MEUC (Major Energy Users Council),
Envirowise, CIBSE (Chartered Institute of
Building Service Engineers), BCAS (British
Compressed Air Society) and the Energy
Information Centre (EIC).
Of great interest to readers of IP&E
amongst the seminars is the ESTA and
CIBSE joint seminar which takes place on
Wednesday 10th September starting at
10am entitled: Energy Performance in
Buildings Regulations: What they mean for
UK Business and the Public Sector. This
seminar will seek to explain what the legal
responsibilities are concerning the
forthcoming (October 2008) Energy
Performance of Buildings Directive and
what action has to be taken and by when.
The seminar will also concentrate on
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
and Display Energy Certificates (DECs).
During the event, ESTA will also be
running seminars about how companies
can save energy and operating costs by
applying 'energy management' to their
buildings and processes. Its Fundamentals
of Energy Management seminar covers:
Site energy policy; completing a site
energy assessment; implementing energy
cost reduction programmes; Support,
advice, finance and loans while the
Advanced and Innovative Energy
Management seminar looks at: Low cost
metering and energy management of
smaller sites; Voltage optimisation
techniques and application and Improving
leaky buildings.
As part of a joint presentation with
BCAS, the British Compressed Air Society,
on Compressed Air ESTA will also
address: New plant what to install in new
systems for higher efficiency; Existing
systems assessing performance;
improvement; replacement and reducing
leaks to lower demand.
Highlighting the water efficiency element
of the seminars, Envirowise will be hosting
a seminar about how businesses can cut
water bills in half by adopting a systematic
approach to water management. The
seminar will help delegates identify ways
to minimise water use by understanding
where waste occurs in their businesses
and how to reduce it.
Alongside these core sessions one of
the most newsworthy additions to the 2008
event is the independent Energy Insight
conference that focuses on energy
procurement, supply security, risk
management, CSR and energy
management.
Energy Insight is aimed firmly at those
directors and senior managers charged
with addressing energy costs and issues
surrounding supply at board level. Some
of the world's foremost experts will be
speaking at the free-to-attend conference
that takes place on the mornings of the
10th and 11th September 2008. To view
the up to date speaker program and to
ensure a place, delegates planning to
attend Energy Insight must register in
advance online at
www.theenergyevent.com.
Guaranteeing a great use of time,
visitors to the event also get the chance to
visit the exhibition that features the top
companies in a wide variety of fields.
Amongst the 120 exhibitors, disciplines
such as compressed air, motors, drives, all
types of heating, industrial automation,
lighting, energy monitoring and targeting
are well represented as are those on the
energy procurement, consultancy and
purchasing side.
One more reason for visiting The Energy
Event is that you could become the proud
owner of a brand new Harley Davidson
motorcycle, courtesy of Encore
International, the energy procurement and
price risk management company*. To be
in with a chance of winning, visitors should
head to stand 216 or 222 where their
details will be entered into the prize draw.
For readers, visiting The Energy Event
makes good sense. The venue is easy to
access with free car parking, the seminars
contain a mix of practical advice,
legislative insight and discussions of the
latest issues plus the exhibition offers
product innovations and experienced
service providers.
