Danfoss, one of the world's leading manufacturers of electronic and mechanical components and control systems for refrigeration and air conditioning, heating and motion controls, announces dates for its 2010 EnVisioneeringSM Symposia Series.
Symposium 13, “RX: Systems Approach to Net Zero,” will be held May 13 in Washington, D.C. The event will examine a systems engineering approach to energy efficiency, energy performance modeling for building systems and the role of public policy. It will also include case studies in systems engineering for energy efficiency.
A second symposium, “The Grid and Beyond,” is scheduled for Nov. 12 in Scottsdale, Ariz. This forum will focus on the Smart Grid, looking at the emerging power crisis, including supply/demand imbalances and the old electrical grid. The symposium will also consider transformational technologies, including overcoming obstacles that capital, regulation, technology, utilities and the existing infrastructure present.
In addition to these symposia, Danfoss will host a series of workshops and working sessions throughout the year that explore leading industry issues.
“The 2010 EnVisioneering Symposia Series gives us the opportunity to continue the energy dialog that began more than four years ago with our first symposium,” said Robert Wilkins, president, Danfoss North America. “We are pleased to be part of an ongoing process that promotes a more sustainable, reliable and secure energy future by providing a forum for the exchange of innovative technologies and creative applications.”
2010 marks the fifth consecutive year that Danfoss has hosted the EnVisioneering Symposia Series. The company launched the series in August 2006 to create an ongoing dialogue among industry, the policy community and thought leaders in research and development.
