Unlock the power of energy efficiency
MORE THAN 70 expert speakers will partici- pate in the conference program for the inaugural Energy Efficiency Expo which will be held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on October 23-24, 2019.
The focus of the program will be on strategies and solutions to reduce energy costs.
The Energy Efficiency Expo’s first conference program will focus on the fundamentals of en- ergy management for businesses, manufactur- ers, food processors, commercial building own- ers and local government.
The free to attend event will start with opening remarks by Victoria's Minister for Energy and So- lar Homes, Lily D’Ambrosio MP, and keynote presentations by CSIRO energy director, Tim Finnigan and Professor David Shipworth, energy and built environment, UCL Energy Institute.
Energy Efficiency Council (EEC) CEO, Luke Menzel, said that in recent years the EEC has been on the ground providing clear guidance on what the energy transition means for Aus- tralian businesses.
“But it’s clear that
more is needed, and
that’s where the Expo
comes in. Our partner-
ship with Reed Exhibi-
tions Australia will
support Australian
businesses that are act-
ing to take control of their energy costs,” he said.
Other speakers will talk about how to turn en- ergy into a competitive advantage. For example, Enel X managing director for Asia and Oceania, Jeff Renaud, said his presentation will identify opportunities to take advantage of today's dy- namic energy landscape.
“At Enel X, we help businesses turn energy into a competitive advantage with demand re- sponse or power flexibility – the ability to in- telligently alter when they use grid power,” Re- naud said.
“Since 2004 we’ve worked with Australian businesses to harness their inherent power flex- ibility to unlock new sources of revenue, reduce
price risk and support their transition to renew- able power.”
A number of panel sessions are also planned for the Expo to help participants navigate today's energy markets.
One panellist is Schneider Electric's operations director for energy markets, Lisa Zembrodt.
“Energy Efficiency Expo is a timely event for businesses looking to manage their rapidly ris- ing energy costs,” she said.
“I look forward to sharing our 5 Steps to pro- curing cheaper, reliable and sustainable ener- gy and sharing my passion for encouraging cli- ents to be active not passive when it comes to energy management.”
Prihoda can create textile diffusers and ducting in any Pantone colour.
IN A BID to protect the environment, Prihoda has released recycled fabric material for both its textile diffusers and ducting.
This new fabric is sourced from the fibres gained through recycled PET bottles.
Every square metre of the fabric will save 13 PET bottles from becom- ing landfill.
But its not just about the environ- ment, its also about aesthetics.
Fortunately, Prihoda’s textile col- ouring technology gives diffusers a whole new aesthetic dimension which
allows them to become an interesting part of every interior.
Prihoda can create textile diffusers and ducting in any Pantone colour, featuring any pattern, photo, image, logo or text, regardless of how complex the design.
Compared to traditional sheet met- al ducting, fabric diffusers have eco- nomic, technical, hygienic and envi- ronmental advantages. Customers are only limited by their imagination.
