The 33rd annual conference next March is expected to draw over 3,500 participants.
"Tools, Actions, and Solutions," the theme for BuildingEnergy08, will be highlighted by experts in various workshops and sessions.

Topics will focus on: enclosures and energy; renewable energy systems for architects and designers; carbon foot-printing; measurement and verification in high performance buildings; wind and solar-powered buildings; super-insulated homes; innovative policy solutions for states and municipalities; multi-family updates: benchmarking, retrofits, rehab, and new construction; climate change; residential renovation; and air tightness vs. ventilation.
