Energy Solutions Expo 2009 preview

Energy Solutions Expo, the UK’s fastest growing energy management event, returns to London Olympia from 7 – 8 October 2009.

Supported by key associations including the National Energy Foundation and the Energy Institute, Energy Solutions Expo will offer more innovative features, complimentary educational content and industry renowned exhibitors than ever before.

The event is part of Working Buildings 2009 which is comprised of three co-located events: Energy Solutions Expo; M&E – The Building Services Event, the UK’s only dedicated building services event and Total Workplace Management, the UK’s largest FM and estates event.

Hundreds of the industry’s leading companies will be showcasing their latest developments at the extensive exhibition including Carbon Trust, ENER.G, Monodraught, PowerPerfector, Powerstar and t-mac Technologies.

Focussing on efficiency, sustainability and renewable energy in both the public and private sectors, Energy Solutions Expo will introduce new and innovative content to ensure that all visitors are informed on the latest industry developments. Sustainable Reality is one such initiative. The brand new series of complimentary seminars will focus on the practical delivery of sustainability and the implications for businesses and other organisations. Seminar topics include ‘Energy in Education’, ‘Energy Legislation and Regulation’ and ‘Energy Savings’.

Taking place in The Sustainable Reality Seminar Theatre, the new educational programme will feature more than 12 hours of free seminars and 20 expert speakers who will provide insight, practical information and direction to help turn a company’s or organisation’s sustainability agenda into reality.

Speakers include:
•    Anna Halcro-Johnston, The Carbon Trust
•    Craig Simmons, Technical Director, Best Foot Forward (BFF)
•    Jacqueline Balian, CIBSE
•    Professor Jim Skea, UKERC
•    David Penfold, Head of Sustainability and Innovation, Sainsburys
•    Kate Dunk, Energy Institute
•    Dr Michael Gell, Xanfeon
•    Richard Brailsford, Project Director, AECOM

In addition, the event will host a further complimentary educational programme in The Public & Private Sector Seminar Theatre. Featuring case studies from some of the industry’s leading companies, visitors will have the opportunity to gain insight into the latest trends and developments from the likes of Mitsubishi Electric, Energy Institute, Earth Energy and powerPerfector.

As the industry evolves, so does Energy Solutions Expo to ensure visitors are able to address all their professional needs all under one roof. Energy Solutions Expo has therefore introduced new and innovative feature areas for 2009 to compliment the established mainstays of the event. One such feature is Be2Camp at Working Buildings - a facilitated, participant-driven “unconference” centered around Web 2.0 and the built environment. Over the two days there will be four themed participative sessions. Within each theme, the prospective audiences will select topics, with a running order emerging in the weeks and days running up to the event. Visitors will be able to suggest the topics, volunteer to speak and nominate speakers.

The interactive feature “Workplace of the Future”, sponsored by FX and FMX, will showcase the latest products and innovations for making the workplace more efficient whilst remaining sustainable and cost effective. Visitors will have the opportunity to walk inside tomorrow’s workplaces and view room builds for a reception area, plant room, office space and a future school.

The prestigious Working Buildings Innovation Awards, in association with PFM magazine, will once again take centre stage at this year’s event by celebrating innovation and business excellence in the effective and efficient management of a working building. The awards, which are free to enter for Energy Solutions Expo exhibitors, will be handed out for the following categories:

•    Best innovation in green product or service
•    Best innovation in energy management
•    Best innovation in FM services
•    Best innovation in building services

Deadline for entries is Friday 4th September and the awards will be presented to the winning companies at a ceremony on Wednesday 10th October.

Adrian Newton, Portfolio Director for Safety and Building Management at UBM Live, organisers of Energy Solutions Expo, said: “In line with tradition, Energy Solutions Expo 2009 will be the must-attend event for energy users. We are taking the opportunity this year to expand the programme to offer an even more comprehensive visitor experience to the event.
