With oil, gas, water and electric costs skyrocketing, one big question everybody is asking is: Can the new technologies and government financial incentives help building owners not only make it through the winter, but actually prevail? A distinguished panel of energy experts, owners and managers address this question and other important issues on February 13 at the Crowne Plaza, White Plains, from 4:30 p.m.- 6:30 p.m. The Drive Building Efficiency Roundtable event is co-sponsored by U.S. Energy Group and Stuyvesant Fuel. U.S. Energy Group is the developer of the revolutionary USE Manager Online, which provides property owners and managers with the information they need to steer their buildings toward peak operating efficiency. Stuyvesant Fuel has long been a supporter of reducing fuel use and costs through information and customer education. This latest roundtable is in response to rave reviews and numerous requests for future sessions from attendees at an earlier seminar held on Long Island. The interactive session is an opportunity to join experienced owners and managers sharing insights into how best to address rising energy costs this winter. It is specifically designed for owners and managers of large portfolios and will explore practical measures they can take to conserve energy and reduce costs with the best ROI. The feature of the event is an open and interactive "Q & A" discussion of key industry challenges involving Matt Schmelzer of Tryax Realty; Ben Schwartz of Metropolitan Property Management; Joe Rosenberg of Rosenberg-Diamond Development; Steve Tannen of Houlihan-Parnes; Tom Webler of PWB Management; and many others.
