Scientific Conservation CEO David Wolins to Present on “Capturing Energy Drift in Commercial Buildings” at Green Intelligent Buildings Conference

-(Business Wire)-September 28, 2009 - Scientific Conservation Inc.:

WHO:		David Wolins, CEO of Scientific Conservation Inc., (SCI) a leading provider of energy efficiency solutions for the $5 billion commercial building market.

WHAT:		LEED standards and certification have emerged as a primary means of offering compelling “proof” that buildings are achieving environmental goals they were designed to reach. And with the advent of wireless sensors, buildings equipped with disparate electrical and mechanical systems are now being monitored even more carefully for performance anomalies that can rob buildings of optimal energy efficiency. Given all of these advancements, Mr. Wolins will explain why buildings continue to suffer from “energy drift”—typically reflecting 15-25 percent loss in energy efficiency within one to two years. In this session attendees will learn: Why commercial buildings continue to suffer from “energy drift” despite advancements in control systems, the increasing deployment of sensors and the growing adoption of LEED standards and certification. Specific sources of ongoing energy drift. Why the integration of disparate energy management system data is insufficient to achieve optimal energy efficiency. How the deployment of new “Automated Continuous Commissioning” (ACC) systems can automatically predict, detect, diagnose and prioritize faults and anomalies, enabling companies to slash annual energy spending 15-25 percent.

WHEN &
WHERE:		Green Intelligent Buildings Conference
		Hilton Santa Clara
		Santa Clara, CA
		TRACK 2, “Operations and Maintenance”
		Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 1:00 p.m.

About the Speaker

David Wolins, CEO, Scientific Conservation

Mr. Wolins has dedicated his career to the advancement of the energy efficiency industry and has worked over a 25 year period with facilities, their processes and their HVAC, refrigeration, controls and metering systems. He was responsible for the design and execution of many cutting edge energy improvement projects including PG&E’s ACT² and BPA’s small commercial demand response program. In 1993, Mr. Wolins founded EnFlex, which developed connectivity and enterprise solutions for the delivery of building systems data. Customers included Chevron Energy Services, Costco, Kroger, U.S. Postal Service, and the utilities Bonneville Power Administration, Entergy and PG&E. In 2008 Mr. Wolins sold EnFlex to SunEdison. Mr. Wolins holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley.
