Ask-an-Expert
Technical experts from the national laboratories and the Department of Energy (DOE), whose expertise span a wide range of efficiency topics, are available at the Energy Exchange/Better Buildings Summit to answer questions and discuss energy performance trends in technology, process, data, and tools. They will be joined by FEMP staff, who will host product and tool demonstrations throughout the event. Attendees are encouraged to stop by and learn more about DOE and the national labs and to discuss emerging technologies, strategies from their respective fields, and ideas to approach projects within their own organizations.
The Ask-an-Expert Lounge will be staffed during the scheduled breaks (10:00-10:30 AM and 3:30-4:00 PM) on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and will be located in the Exhibit Hall at the entry to the Trade Show.
