DR-Expo Overview

Building Automation Systems

Many buildings today are monitored and controlled by some form of building automation system whose purpose is twofold: firstly, to provide a comfortable, secure and productive built environment to owners and occupants, and secondly, to manage energy consumption. Most of the focus to date is on the former. The lack of emphasis on the latter is driven by cheap and abundant energy in most of the North American markets. This is now changing, and building automation is front and center in being able to affect energy cost significantly through DR.

DR Implementation Today

Many early implementations of DR have tended to be simplistic, using event and price signals to basically turn off consuming devices and/or initiating distributed generation that are often not environmentally friendly.
Using technology currently availabDR-Expo logole, a more sophisticated and valuable DR can be implemented, especially when leveraging building automation and control systems. Such DR implementation can be noninvasive and sensitive to environmental concerns of climate change.

Value Proposition of DR-Expo

DR-Expo is the first event totally focused on the implementation of DR in today’s world of environmentally-aware and cost-conscious business and real estate areas. Attendees to DR-Expo will gain the following benefits:

  • Be informed of the reason why DR is real, immediate and significant
  • Learn how to implement DR from ISO and DR providers
  • See the complete technology picture of DR implementation
  • Learn from experts who have developed processes and best practices

The Road to Sustainable Energy

DR is both a short term business proposition and a route to the significant future market in sustainable energy.
Buildings have a significant impact on climate change and carbon footprint, and DR is one of the first steps involved in this lucrative market. The organizers and sponsors of DR-Expo are committed to providing attendees the path for this evolution.
DR-Expo and the subjects covered at the event will provide attendees with tools to manage compliance requirements brought about by governmental or corporate organizations.

Be one of the first in this market!
