Conference Planning Committee
NESEA is indeed fortunate to work with an extraordinary group of professionals who volunteer their time to create this timely conference. The committee forms in April each year and meets several times throughout the summer and autumn to identify topics of interest and speakers who share up-to-date information. If you are interested in being part of the planning for BuildingEnergy09, please indicate your wishes on the evaluation form, or talk with NESEA staff.
Special thanks this year to our Chair, F.L. Andrew Padian, Steven Winter Associates, Inc., and Co-chairs, Joel Gordes, Environmental Energy Solutions and Thomas RC Hartman, Coldham & Hartman Architects. They have created rich content working closely with dedicated Track and Session Chairs. The open process of choosing compelling topics and speakers ensures a lively, information-packed event.
