International BuildingEQ Symposium: Linking European EPBD and Commissioning

Abstract

Date: 1 October 2009

Location: Berlin

Continuous monitoring of a building’s performance offers considerable opportunities to optimise comfort and energy efficiency. The aim of this event is to organise a dialogue on the subject of optimising the operation of buildings. Various approaches and trends in the monitoring of buildings will be presented and discussed. Facility managers, building owners, specialist planners, energy agencies and energy service companies have the opportunity to find out about the European BuildingEQ project and about international trends and prospects in building monitoring. The conference will be conducted in English. There will be a get-together on the evening before the conference.
