| | 10:30 am | ZigBee: Becoming the Wireless Standard for Tomorrow's Smart Grid | ZigBee Alliance | Time: 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Room: S320B
Exhibitor: ZigBee Alliance
Description: Fueled by the government's proposal to develop better and greener technology and the resulting stimulus package, the Smart Grid has become a focal point as energy providers expedite their smart grid plans to meet regulatory deadlines, with ZigBee playing a key role to enabling this plan.
ZigBee is an open global standard used to connect consumers and commercial devices to the electric grid in support of energy efficiency programs prompted by governments and energy providers around the world. These programs use ZigBee to create two-way communication and control of ZigBee devices inside of homes, giving energy providers a "last meter" wireless connection into homes. ZigBee links devices starting with the energy provider meter and reaches thermostats, household appliances, heating/cooling, lighting systems and other household appliances. For energy providers, ZigBee enables a standards-based approach to a myriad of energy efficiency programs.
ZigBee is being selected around the world as a key technology required for energy management and efficiency. Over 30 million meters have been committed by numerous leading utilities to run ZigBee Smart Energy by the end of next year. Policymakers are including it as a key component in energy legislation and energy providers are expecting it to play a critical role in energy efficiency programs by connecting the energy provider to their consumers and their residential devices. The Department of Energy has also publicly acknowledged that ZigBee Smart Energy is in the running to becoming the required standard for U.S. smart grid development.
Bob Heile from ZigBee Alliance will discuss:
- The impact of accelerated smart grid development to corporations and consumers
- ZigBee's role in addressing energy efficiency programs for energy providers
- How an open global standard like ZigBee can be the catalyst for change

Fans can represent a significant component of building energy consumption. The Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) has a long history in establishing standards and guidelines to assure that HVAC system designers can select fans that meet performance and energy consumption goals. This presentation will focus on recent efforts to develop a new standard (AMCA 205) that addresses fan efficiency. The Fan Efficiency Grade (FEG) is a key element of this new standard. The presentation will review the motivation and background of the FEG as well as the related FMEG (Fan Motor Efficiency Grade). Potential implications of the new standard will also be discussed as it relates to fan selection.

| | 3:00 pm | Collaborative Energy: Informed Communities of Building Systems | AHR Expo | Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Room: S320G/H
Exhibitor: AHR Expo
Description: New smart grid standards exchange information rather than control signals with buildings-based systems. Three information exchanges, (1) energy scarcity, quality, and value, (2) grid and market events and (3) live energy usage information are the basis of collaborative energy. Building systems from BAS to home appliance to consumer electronics will be expected to share such information as well. A common information component to share schedules and calendars between building systems, enterprise activities, smart grid, and financial markets is just now coming out of the IETF.
Systems will cooperate as autonomous agents using advanced energy profiles to move beyond limiting energy use to aggregate load shaping within the building. Load shape and load control will maximize the value of distributed energy resources (DER) and Near Grid Buildings. Loose integration will create a premium on autonomous performance and inter-system collaboration. Energy and schedule aware systems will compete on richness of user interface. Learn how these new expectations will change consumer and owner purchasing decisions.

| | 3:00 pm | Florida Building Code Structural Requirements for Evaporative Cooling Equipment | Cooling Technology Institute | Time: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Room: S320E
Exhibitor: Cooling Technology Institute
Description: Due to high incidences of severe weather and hurricanes to the Florida
peninsula in the 1990s, the Florida Department of Community Affairs and the
International Code Council (ICC) have issued new and more stringent
regulations to the Florida Building Code with respect to cooling towers.
This paper will provide an in depth examination of how the Florida Building
Code addresses cooling towers and recent declaratory statements issued on
how the code applies to their structural design. It will also review the
benefits of following the code, how to ensure all parties involved are
meeting legal requirements and the responsibilities of the engineer of
record, equipment manufacturer, building code officials and owners.

Room: S320E
Exhibitor: Cooling Technology Institute
Description: The presence of legionellae in a cooling tower is not sufficient to predict the potential for disease transmission because other factors are involved, including cooling tower air emissions. This paper provides a technical understanding of the relationships of drift quantity, droplet distribution, plume dispersion and tower water legionellae concentration in order to estimate airborne legionellae concentration at distances from the tower.

| | 9:00 am | Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Workshop | International Energy Agency | Time: 9:00 am - 3:15 pm
Room: S330E
Exhibitor: International Energy Agency
Description: Buildings space heating and cooling and water heating are responsible for a significant portion of energy consumption in the USA. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), in the commercial sector, space heating and cooling are responsible for 40% of total energy consumption and in the residential sector almost 70% of total energy consumption is due to such applications. Solar cooling is a particularly attractive option to reduce such consumption due to the natural match between solar radiation availability and buildings cooling loads. In the last few years, more than 100 solar cooling systems have been installed worldwide, most of them with cooling power above 30 ton. The Solar Heating and Cooling Programme of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has led collaborative efforts on the development of solar cooling systems and applications for the last 10 years. This workshop draws from this accumulated experience to present the state-of-the-art of thermally driven solar cooling. Presented by European and North American experts, it covers the basics of solar collector technology, open and closed cooling cycles and equipment, current systems experience, including systems in North America, design guidelines and economics of solar cooling.
