The featured expert speaker is Enrica Oliva, partner and COO, and director of Structures Group, at Werner Sobek New York. This engineering and architecture firm focuses on sustainable buildings and materials, and has developed a Triple Zero standard that requires buildings to have zero energy from outside sources, zero carbon dioxide emissions, and zero waste production.
Other companies that will be presenting include:
- Baumann Consulting, an energy efficiency and sustainability service provider for the entire life cycle of buildings and facilities. As engineers, architects, planners and consultants, their team is driven to elevate high-performance buildings from a niche segment of the market to the industry standard.
- MeteoViva is a leading provider of next generation heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) control strategies designed to significantly reduce running costs and carbon footprint, while improving indoor comfort. The company relies on a predictive model that factors in weather, building usage and energy tariffs to provide optimum control data to the target building.
- The Viessmann Group is one of the leading international manufacturers of heating, industrial and refrigeration systems. Their German-engineered products are simple to install and built to last, offering a wide range of application areas from private homes to large-scale industrial, commercial and governmental buildings.
