CARLSBAD, CA, April 18, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Realcomm Conference Group, LLC, a global leader in providing education, information, and networking opportunities for the commercial real estate industry, announced today a new summit at its annual conference that will explore the technology "touch points" of the green and sustainability movement. The Energy Efficient Buildings Summit will be held on the second day of the conference on June 24, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago. Realcomm 2009 is the leading conference on technology, automated business solutions and intelligent buildings for the commercial real estate industry.
"Given the current economic climate, energy efficiency and operational expense reduction should be one of the highest priorities for a commercial or corporate real estate organization," said Jim Young, president and CEO of Realcomm. "This Summit will provide our attendees the necessary strategies and tools to take back to their organizations and implement."
With the built environment accounting for over 40% of the country's energy consumption, it's no wonder the energy topic has been propelled to the top of every leader's priority list. But just what do the terms "green," "sustainability" or "high performance" mean to the commercial and corporate owner/operator? Despite the recent surge of public awareness, there remains a great deal of confusion on their meaning, and even more importantly, how intelligence needs to be incorporated into building operations strategies.
The summit will have four power topics:
• Six BIG Energy Ideas for Commercial Real Estate
• Building the Green / Energy / Sustainability Plan
• Who is in Charge of Green and Energy in Your Firm?
• Why is Green and Sustainability Important to Commercial Real Estate?
Realcomm 2009's conference theme is: "REboot" 2009: Turning Challenges into Opportunities. With the current sluggish economy and frozen credit markets, companies will need months (if not years) to "refresh," and business plans might be more difficult to carry out. In the context of commercial real estate businesses, REboot means that we have to re-think and, in some cases, re-structure the way that we operate our businesses.
