    The Mid-Atlantic is faced with enormous challenges and opportunities as a

    result of super storm Sandy. At least 17 states were affected and estimated dam-

    ages of $62 billion dollars translate to rebuilding and improving the buildings

    and facilities utilizing the latest in energy efcient technologies. The rebuilding

    efforts must include the risk of climate change and creating smarter and greener

    cities.

    The United States is competing in a global race for the clean energy jobs of

    the future and clean technologies. The 2013 Obama Administration is commit-

    ted to an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes critical investments in

    innovation and production of clean energy technologies, in clean energy jobs,

    promoting efforts to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and strengthening

    our national security.

    GLOBALCON 2013, presented by the Association of Energy Engineers

    (AEE) and hosted by Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW), is the one place where

    building owners, facility managers and energy professionals can get up to speed

    on the latest policies of the new administration, compare supply side and de-mand side options, and learn about leading edge technologies from combined

    heat and power to LED lighting to renewable energy solutions.

    Energy Policy & TrendsIn light of current events we are faced with many challenges addressing our

    nations energy policy including a divided Congress, impending scal cliff,

    and budget cuts. Floyd DesChamps, Senior Vice President of Policy at the Alli-

    ance to Save Energy will address the future outlook of energy policy moving for-

    ward under the Obama Administration. Attendees will also learn about changes

    in energy efciency programs due to federal spending cuts and major energy

    initiatives being pushed by Congress and the 2013 Administration.

    High Perormance BuildingsFollowing several years of development, demand response has now started

    transforming wholesale markets and reducing costs for ratepayers. Susan Co-

    vino, Senior Consultant of Emerging Markets at PJM Interconnection, LLC, will

    address updates on the PJM Demand Response Markets and Laurie Wiegand-Jackson, President of North America Power Partners, will address demand re-

    sponse programs across the U.S.

    In a new session on Smart Buildings, you will learn the techniques cur-

    rently available for collaboration between building systems, facility managers,

    and building occupants to achieve short-term and life cycle cost reductions,

    energy conservation, and user satisfaction. Attend this session and hear from

    experts Nick Stecky, President of NJS Associates and Peter Winslow, Professor

    of Sustainability & Environmental Engineering at Rutgers University School of

    Engineering.

    Combined Heat & PowerThe Mid-Atlantic Clean Energy Application Center has put together an in-

    formative session on CHP again this year at GLOBALCON. This session will

    address the new issues that will impact the future growth of CHP in the Mid-

    Atlantic region. Attendees will discover the role of CHP in the benecial use

    of shale gas from an economic development perspective, the reliability supportprovided by CHP for an ageing infrastructure as highlighted during hurricane

    Sandy as well as power generation options, costs and environmental impact and

    the place CHP holds in our future energy environment.

    Renewable EnergyThe Sustainable Energy Fund developed a session on renewable energy,

    covering the status of renewable energy generation technologies and deployment

    throughout the United States, the latest updates on renewable energy credits, net

    metering, time of use rates, public nancing and tax credits, and lessons learned

    in renewable energy deployment, from small scale distribution, to campuses, to

    large-scale distribution of renewable energy technologies.

    Hear from experts Jack Christensen, Manager of Facilities and Energy Man-

    agement Operations at the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, and Tim Bigler,

    Senior Market Strategist for Hess Corporation, on pragmatic, compelling chal-

    lenges and cases for compressed natural gas. Attendees will hear the challenge

    to transforming a state owned highway into a green corridor, responding to theneed for manufacturing commercial and private CNG vehicles, and accelerating

    the commercialization of CNG.

    Deregulation: Critical IssuesCompetitive selection of natural gas and electricity has had a dramatic effect

    on the job of the energy manager. Not only must they pay attention to consum-

    ing less energy, but they also must continue to watch the future cost of energy,

    and take advantage of opportunities as they become available. A session on

    deregulation will focus on the current issues and opportunities available to the

    energy manager with regards to purchasing energy in the competitive market-

    place and understanding the risks associated with it.

    About the Workshop:

    Commissioning is the process of ensuring that building sys-tems are designed, installed, functionally tested, and capable of

    being operated and maintained according to the owner s opera-

    tional needs. Commissioning also can restore existing buildings

    to high productivity through renovation, upgrade and tune-up

    of existing systems. This program will examine all aspects of

    building commissioning, including project scheduling, roles and

    responsibilities of the project team, new building commission-

    ing, retro and recommissioning of existing buildings, system by

    system commissioning requirements, TAB and verication pro-

    cedures, the LEED rating system, building code issues, and com-

    missioning tools and technologies.

    The CBCP exam will be administered at the close of instruc-

    tion on day three of each seminar -- only to those who have qua li-

    ed in advance to sit for the exam by submitting a completed

    CBCP application and fee.Please Note: In order to qualify to sit for the CBCP exam, you

    must submit your completed CBCP application, along with a

    $300 application fee. For information on obtaining your CBCP

    application form, or for further information on the CBCP pro-

    About the seminar: AEE, in cooperation with the Efciency

    Evaluation Organization (EVO), established the Certied Mea-

    surement & Verication Professional program with the dual

    purpose of recognizing the most qualied professionals in this

    growing area of the energy industry, and raising the overall pro-

    fessional standards within the M&V eld. The IPMVP, rst es-

    tablished by the U.S. DOE, has become the internationally rec-

    ognized protocol for performance M&V. This course is designed

    as a useful preparatory vehicle for AEEs Certied Measurement

    & Verication Professional (CMVP) program. Proven energy

    savings are now playing a signicant role in nancing energy

    management programs, whether through energy performance

    contracts or through emission trades under schemes such as the

    clean development mechanism of the UNFCCC.

    While interest in savings data is growing, the state of the art in

    determining savings has also been rapidly evolving. This seminar

    will examine current methods of determining and documenting

    savings, specically reviewing the newest IPMVP. Attendees will

    learn the process of designing a proper M&V program for their

    projects, including cost/accuracy tradeoffs, baseline adjustments,

    the role of estimates, maintaining space conditions, the role of

    veriers, and the data needed for emission trading. Examples of

    specic techniques will be presented and class time will include

    problem solving and debate. Bring a calculator. Advance read-

    ing of IPMVP Volume I would be useful, though not required.

    (To obtain IPMVP Volume I or for more information about EVO,

    visit www.evo-world.org).

    For those wishing to qualify for CMVP Certication, the

    CMVP exam will be administered at the close of instruction on

    the last day of the seminar in the same location. In order to sit for

    the examination, it is necessary to submit a CMVP application,

    which can be obtained at www.aeecenter.org/certication/cmvp.

    Note that registering for the 3-day seminar does not automatically

    register you for the CMVP exam. An additional fee of $400 is

    required for the certication application.

    AEE is Now an Approved Training Provider in the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA/CES) Registered Provider ProgramThe AIA requires that registered architect members earn 18 Learning Units (LUs) hours of continuing education annually (8 hours of which must be related to Health, Safety, and Welfare topics and 4 of those 8 in

    Sustainable Design) to remain in good standing. Architectural boards in 40 states, 10 Canadian provinces, and 19 countries have implemented mandatory continuing education (MCE) for re-licensure. Statistically, architects

    hold multiple state licenses. Most states with MCE requirements recognize the AIA/CES as the primary source of professional development for their licensed architects. This allows AIA members to present their AIA/CES

    transcripts (and non-members AIA/CES Certicates of Completion) to licensing boards to satisfy state requirements. In becoming an AIA/CES Registered Provider, AEE is committed to a system-wide, top-down com-

    mitment to quality professional continuing education and sound administration. The AIA/CES offers providers of professional continuing education myriad opportunities to award CES Learning Units (LUs) and provide

    valuable information and guidance, while bypassing the time-consuming process of registering their courses with individual states.

    AEE is an Approved Training Provider Under U.S. Green Building Councils Education Provider Program for GBCIs Mandatory Credential Maintenance Program (CMP)The Association of Energy Engineers is an approved training provider under the U.S.Green Building Council (USGBC) Education Provider Program (EPP). The purpose of EPP is to facilitate access to high quality

    professional development courses which further enrich the knowledge and understanding of green building theory, techniques, and trends for building professionals. Each approved course is reviewed by third party-trained

    reviewers, and meets the criteria and guidelines established by the USGBC Professional Development Committee. Many courses offered by AEE have been ofcially approved for credit under USGBCs Education Provider

    Program for GBCIs Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) for LEED professional credentials.

    ACORE Recognizes AEEs Renewable Energy Professonal Seminar and REA CertificationThe American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) recently signed a memorandum of understanding to recognize the Fundamentals of Renewable Energy:

    Technologies, Applications, & Strategies training seminar as well as the Renewable Energy Professional (REP) certication exam. ACORE will appoint an ofcial to the Renewable Energy Professional Certication Board,

    and provide feedback as to course content as the renewable energy marketplace changes. ACOREs involvement brings added critical insight into renewable energy policy developments,

    market trends, and technology innovations.

    About the seminar: Traditional energy audits are based upon the

    evaluation of existing energy consumption, on-site data collection

    from energy consuming equipment, and reporting of common en-

    ergy conservation opportunities. These audits can typically lead

    to 10% energy savings. The goal of the advanced energy audit is

    to reach beyond the typical equipment replacements, and develop

    a plan which considers additional areas such as indoor air qual-

    ity, code compliance, operation and maintenance, risk mitiga-

    tion, commissioning, and investment-grade details. This four-day

    course provides auditors with the knowledge and tools needed to

    develop enhanced recommendations leading to increased client

    energy savings.

    The Masters Level CEA exam will be administered at eachseminar site beginning at 8:00 am on the morning following the

    nal day of instruction -- only to those who have met qualifying

    criteria to sit for the exam and have submitted a completed

    Masters Level CEA application and fee.
