Annual Membership Meeting & Keynote Panel
Topic: The Future of Energy ManagementFriday September 24 |
 |
Consumers are growing more aware of their energy consumption. Eighty percent of U.S. households are interested in learning more about how to cut their energy costs.* More than one-half already have a programmable thermostat, which means the majority of U.S. households have at least one energy-saving device in their home.* Energy management is undeniably one of the most talked about topics in the electronic systems contracting industry. This is one topic that all electronic systems contractors need to stay constantly informed in order to proactively meet customer needs. During this keynote panel, leaders in consumer technology, energy management, and smart grid technology will deliver the state of the union as it relates to energy management and the electronic systems industry. Learn how emerging technology will affect your business, your clients, and your life.
