SPONSORSHIP & TRADESHOW GUIDE

t 2 High Performance Buildings Residential and commercial buildings make up the largest percentage of Canada s energy consumption. Improving the energy performance of our buildings, both old and new, requires more than just an investment in new technology. Join the discussion on how supportive policy, financing models and innovative energy systems are stimulating high performance buildings. QUEST2017 AT A GLANCE QUEST2017 - Smart Energy Communities on the Hill, is your one stop shop to interact with members of parliament, federal, provincial & municipal senior government leaders; network with senior business leaders from utilities, energy service providers, the real estate sector; and, learn about new technology solutions from leading edge suppliers. Alternative Fuels & Intelligent Vehicles CLEAN ENERGY PLANNING With 25 per cent of emissions coming from the transportation sector in Canada, all levels of government, along with the automotive industry and its energy suppliers, are aggressively working to advance a cultural shift in how Canadians move. With increasing incentives and economic payback, alternative fuel and technology vehicles are becoming viable for both personal, fleet and freight transportation in Canada. Learn from the leaders in the market on how we can accelerate the adoption of alternative fuels and intelligent vehicles. When Canadian s talk clean energy we typically think of electricity generation through solar, wind and other renewable technologies. A greater challenge and opportunity lies in heating and cooling and electricity storage. With the emergence of energy storage, combined heat and power, and district energy, we can begin to address Canada s thermal needs. Hear from experts on how you can become an active user in Canada s evolving energy system. Community energy planning is often perceived solely through a municipal lense. Rather, local government is the thread that knits together sectors who have their own unique responsibilities in the delivery of Smart Energy Communities. With over 384 Community Energy Plans underway representing over 62 per cent of the Canadian population, community energy planning is creating a space for optimized energy use and substantial emissions reductions. Join this discussion to learn how your sector can engage with municipalities and accelerate the implementation of Community Energy Plans.
