Calling All Industrial Energy Professionals…

...calling for your papers, that is. The 37th Industrial Energy Technology Conference (IETC) is soliciting technical papers for its conference to be held June 2-5, 2015, in New Orleans, LA. Papers should cover topics directly related to energy efficiency improvements and environmental concerns in industrial operations. Particular emphasis should be placed on innovations, applications, success stories and failures, technology assessment methods and items of timely interest in the industry. Identification of new equipment and processes is of major importance. However, extensive commercialism in the presentation is not desirable and would be considered in poor taste.

Suggested Topics

Industrial Energy Efficiency Audits and measurements Analysis tools Benchmarking Boiler and steam systems Case studies Compressed air systems Data centers Developing key performance indicators (KPI) Emerging efficient industrial technologies Electric motors Integrating combined heat and power (CHP) into existing facilities Metering, monitoring, and verification Plant-wide optimization Power quality and high voltage power systems Use of engineering service providers Water/energy nexus Smart grid applications Strategies & Policies GHG, climate, and reporting issues Certifications for ISO 50001, Superior Energy Performance (SEP), Energy STAR Corporate energy plans Demand response strategies Federal and state government programs Future energy pricing and reliability Improving energy management performance Making the business case for implementation Mentoring and career enhancement for energy leaders of the future Real-time optimization Risk management Sustainability practices Utility incentives programs

About IETC

The Industrial Energy Technology Conference (IETC) was created in 1979 to meet the needs of the industrial energy community. It focuses on a wide variety of topics of importance to professionals who are involved in the production, use, or transportation of energy, or in designing and evaluating energy-related equipment and waste-reduction practices. Hosted by the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M Univ. and the Louisiana Dept. of Natural Resources, the IETC attracts an audience from North America and internationally. Attendees will hear about what other companies are successfully implementing, gauge the impact of new trends, see where the industry is heading, and share their experiences in meeting today's energy challenges.
