BICSI CECs (Continuing Education Credits) for : Trends in Energy Reduction Initiatives How IT Helps Change the Game Thank you for your interest in supporting the professional development of individuals in the Information Technology Systems (ITS) Industry. BICSI will recognize this course for: 1 BICSI ITS CECs
What is driving IT/Facility integration, discussion on business impact and strategies being deployed today. Which cities are currently engaged in legislation or considering legislation to reduce energy consumption? IT and Facility integration have been the talk for some time, what is real today? Building systems have traditionally been the key to reducing energy how can IT effect energy usage? What incentives are available for energy reduction projects within greater Chicago?

The internet of EVERYTHING Intel pivots toward 'Internet of things' with new division By Noel Randewich San Francisco Reuters Published Wednesday, Nov. 06 2013, 8:43 AM The Internet of Things IoT a trend toward connecting everything from bathroom scales to skyscraper ventilation systems via the Internet will create massive demand for new electronics and software.
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 Signed on December 19, 2007, EISA reinforces the energy reduction goals for federal agencies put forth in Executive Order 13423, as well as introduces more aggressive requirements. Energy Efficiency: EISA requires federal agencies to reduce energy intensity by 3 percent per year, or 30 percent by FY 2015 (compared to an FY 2003 baseline): 9 percent by FY 2008** 12 percent by FY 2009 15 percent by FY 2010 18 percent by FY 2011 21 percent by FY 2012 24 percent by FY 2013 27 percent by FY 2014 30 percent by FY 2015
Nonprofit Energy Efficiency Act (S.717) Would establish a pilot program to award grants to nonprofit organizations for energy efficiency retrofits. Streamlining Energy Efficiency for Schools Act (S.1084) Would establish the U.S. Department of Energy s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy as the lead federal agency responsible for coordinating federal, state, and local assistance provided to promote the energy retrofitting of schools. Better Buildings Act (S.1191) (also known as Tenant Star) Would build on the success of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s ENERGY STAR for Buildings program and establish a voluntary new Tenant Star program to certify leased spaces in buildings as energy efficient. Building energy benchmarking & disclosure (S. 1206) - Would encourage benchmarking and disclosure of energy information for commercial buildings. WAP/SEP Reauthorization (S. 1213) Would reauthorize the weatherization and state energy programs. Energy Efficient Government Technology Act (S. 1261) Would promote energy efficiency via information and computing technologies, including energy efficient data centers. Quadrennial Energy Review Act (S. 552) Would amend the Department of Energy Organization Act to replace the current requirement for a biennial energy policy plan with a Quadrennial Energy Review. Proposed Amendments to the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act (S.1392),
Chicago Building Energy Use Ordinance will require commercial, residential, and municipal buildings over 50,000 square feet within the City of Chicago to track, verify, and report energy consumption using Energy Star Portfolio Manager website. Similar legislation has been adopted in cities including New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, and Washington D.C.,
It is predicted that if all Chicago buildings larger than 50,000 square feet reduce energy use by 5%, the city will see an estimated $40 million in annual energy cost savings and greenhouse gas reduction equivalent to removing 50,000 cars from the roads.
