With buildings in the U.S. accounting for as much as 40 percent of the energy usage in the country, industry leaders and stakeholders are continuously looking for ways to improve building energy efficiency, connectivity, and sustainability. To help achieve those goals, Danfoss hosted its 24thEnVisioneering Symposium, “Integrating Building Systems for Sustainable Energy,” on June 3. The event brought together 40 thought leaders for a day of presentations and roundtable discussions at the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, District of Columbia.
Launched in 2006, Danfoss’s EnVisioneering Symposia help keep HVACR industry stakeholders apprised of the latest developments in U.S. policy and industry and provide forums in which they can share ideas and information. The June symposium featured presentations from seven individuals and included roundtable discussions on new building-grid dynamics, building connectivity, community-level regulation, and examples of leading communities — urban and academic — that have crossed thresholds in community-building energy efficiency, utility integration, and management.
