Agenda

8:00 am - 9:00 am Registration & Continental Breakfast
9:00 am - 9:45 am
Keynote Presentation - Better, Greener, Faster, Cheaper
Adams Tibbs, Project FROG
Better, Greener, Faster, Cheaper. Expanding on the transformative philosophy, process and technology behind these words reveals the obstacles and challenges inherent in an industry increasingly misaligned with market needs, and the incredible opportunities and innovative means at hand to realize a vastly more efficient future for buildings in terms of both construction and operations.

9:45 am - 10:30 am Keynote Presentation - Media: Same Language, New Toolset
Vik Duggal, Konstructr
Everywhere you look someone is talking about Facebook or Twitter, blogging or chatting. The Internet is now this powerful infrastructure where anything is possible and the building industry can leverage it. From effective communication to creating a presence that has never been as viral as before, there is an awesome power to the Internet that no platform has ever been able to provide. Vik will discuss how today's Internet and this new "social media" phenomenon will help from design and development to construction and operation of a building; from inception of the idea and financing to the moment the Building Owner gets their COO and is fully operational.

8:30 am - 9:15 am Keynote Presentation
Jeff Harris, Alliance to Save Energy
An in-depth look at the strategies, policies and politics surrounding zero energy buildings provides an overview of federal legislation, Department of Energy program activities, and state  and utility policy initiatives aimed at achieving this ambitious goal. Navigating the path to ZEBs also includes discussion of the critical role of the Zero Energy Commercial Buildings Consortium and how it relates to these other activities.
9:15 am - 10:00 am Keynote Presentation
David Hewitt, New Buildings Institute
With an understanding of the strategies, policies and politics of zero energy buildings in place, further examination reveals key market and process constraints, the potential steps to overcome them, and action plan elements under consideration at the national and state levels. Discussion of the future of building codes and the California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan illustrate both the obstacles and challenges as well as potential paths to realization of zero energy commercial buildings.
