Program -- Sustainability Initiatives Track Track sponsored by BBK
Assessing Your Plant for Green Initiatives 8:35 a.m. -- 9.35 a.m. Did you know you can integrate energy management with asset management to help maintain and extend the life of your assets -- and lower your costs -- by reducing your energy consumption? Using innovative energy management capabilities combined with existing EAM functionality, you can identify, optimize, and automate proactive maintenance, comparing both the asset performance and its energy usage across your enterprise. Numerous companies such as a high profile paper manufacturer, a well known East Coast University and a tier 1 automotive manufacturer have integrated energy into their asset and maintenance strategies and have already reduced energy consumption by a minimum of 6% and reduced their carbon emissions at the same time. Speaker  Johnny Bofilios, Director Global

Bofilios has a bachelor's of electrical engineering from Clemson University. Impacts and Opportunities in the New Energy World 9:55 a.m. -- 10:55 a.m. Climate change and increasing energy demands have arguably become two of the most important challenges we face in this century. Today we are beginning to more fully understand the complexity and magnitude that our energy choices and consumption are having on our environment. However, the potential consequences from our actions are difficult to quantify and fuel further debate among the experts. Drawing from more than 15 years of experience, Andrew Singer will examine how energy management strategies can best be structured and implemented to prepare companies for the new energy world. He will discuss advanced purchasing options, financial risk management strategies, demand response, load shaping, intelligent energy systems and enterprisewide energy management. He also will examine how sophisticated purchasing strategies that incorporate renewable energy certificates, carbon offsets and onsite generation can play a crucial role in meeting an organization's environmental goals. This session will help individuals and organizations conceptualize how to best structure their energy strategies today in preparation for tomorrow’s market challenges. Speaker  Andrew Singer, Senior Vice
