Date: 10/01 to 10/03/2008

Location: Gaylord National Convention Center on the Potomac, Washington, DC

AEE is very pleased to bring the WORLD ENERGY ENGINEERING CONGRESS (WEEC) to Washington, DC for 2008—and to an extraordinary new venue—the Gaylord National Convention Center on the Potomac. Now in its 31st year, the WEEC is well-recognized as the most important energy event of national scope for end users and energy professional in all areas of the energy field. It is the one truly comprehensive forum where you can fully assess the "big picture" – and see exactly how the economic and market forces, new technologies, regulatory developments and industry trends all merge to shape your critical decisions on your organization's energy and economic future.

The WEEC features a large, multi-track conference agenda, a full line-up of seminars on a variety of current topics and a comprehensive exposition of the market's most promising new technologies.

The WEEC conference and expo target the complete spectrum of technologies and services of greatest importance to our delegates in attendance, including, but not limited to:

• Energy efficiency and energy management
• Renewable, green and alternative energy
• Combined heat & power / cogeneration / distributed generation
• Integrated building automation & energy management
• Lighting efficiency
• HVAC systems and controls
• Thermal storage and load management
• Boilers and combustion controls
• Geoexchange technologies
• Solar and fuel cell technologies
• Applications specific to federal energy management programs
• Energy services and project financing

Also, in order to address the interests and needs of the large number of U.S. government professionals who traditionally attend WEEC, AEE will again offer a section of the program known as FEMWorks 2008. First introduced as part of the 2006 WEEC agenda, this special multi-track portion of the WEEC conference will include a comprehensive series of workshops for federal energy managers.

WEEC's highly acclaimed GreenStreet expo showcase, introduced in 2007 and co-presented by the U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR®, will again be a prominent part of the WEEC for 2008. Here you can examine firsthand the latest green / sustainable / environmentally friendly energy technologies now available for both new design and retrofit projects. Conference presentations will facilitate your understanding of these technologies, covering such topics as green building design and retrofit; LEED certification and building commissioning; high performance facilities; federal initiatives; state and local sustainable development programs; the latest developments in renewable energy; reducing carbon emissions; transportation solutions for the future; and green/sustainable project success stories.
