Don’t miss the upcoming CxEnergy 2018 Conference & Expo, to be held April 23-26 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fifth annual CxEnergy provides topical, in-depth educational presentations for commissioning; testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB); and energy management professionals. The National Institute of Building Sciences is a supporting organization of the event.

On Thursday, April 26, Ryan Colker, J.D., Vice President at the Institute, will deliver the technical presentation, “Driving to Outcomes: How Evolving Energy Performance Policies Impact the Building Process.” This session will examine what current and proposed outcome-based code provisions look like (including recent guidance that the Institute issued for cities wishing to implement such an approach) and how commissioning providers and others focused on energy performance can assist building owners in achieving outcome-based goals.

CxEnergy presentations include case studies and topics in building envelope/enclosure commissioning, technology and innovation, energy management, commissioning specialty systems, policy and financial issues, lighting, water management, data centers, microgrids, energy storage and more. Attendees can earn American Institute of Architects (AIA) and other industry certification continuing education credits.

The Expo Hall showcases a wide variety of products, including controls, software, instruments, metering devices and services targeted specifically to commissioning, energy management, engineering and testing firms.

CxEnergy 2018 is presented by the Associated Air Balance Council (AABC), the AABC Commissioning Group (ACG) and the Energy Management Association (EMA). These organizations collectively represent over 600 companies that have nearly 2,000 personnel in the field carrying one of our energy management, commissioning or test and balance certifications. Supporting organizations include the National Institute of Building Sciences, U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Nevada Chapter, Continental Automated Buildings Association, Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) and Navigant.
