Track Topics for Building Energy 2009

The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) will field a team of all stars from the sustainable energy and building industries to present its popular session tracks at the Building Energy 2009 Conference and Trade Show in Boston March 11th - 12th. The two days of sessions will give conference attendees real solutions from real experts. Sessions of particular relevance to those in the real estate industry include the tracks on single and multifamily housing as well as renewable energy systems for residential and commercial properties. The session track, "Residential Complexity and Details," will focus on high-performance developments, development near transit and upgrading existing buildings. "End Use Renewables" will address wind power, solar financing, renewable education and residential microgrids. The five remaining tracks offer significant, detailed information of interest to those in the building and real estate industries. NESEA was honored last year to have Mass. governor Deval Patrick speak at Building Energy. At the conference, governor Patrick announced the establishment of a task force on zero net energy buildings. This task force, appointed by the governor, will present its findings to the governor prior to the Building Energy Conference next March. NESEA looks forward to the governor's return to BE09 to announce the recommendations of the task force.
