The Clean Air Through Energy Efficiency (CATEE) Conference is a premiere educational conference and business expo serving public and private decision-makers and thought leaders for policy and investments that determine the energy and water intensity of the built environment.
CATEE 2012 will be held October 9-11, 2012 in Galveston, Texas at the Hotel Galvez. Texas led action by the states on air quality with legislation in 2001 creating building sector energy efficiency initiatives to reduce emissions. These included adopting energy codes, encouraging above code building performance, and requiring state agencies and political subdivisions to set cost-effective examples by reducing consumption each year.
The Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M is charged with providing technical support for several of these initiatives and calculating emissions benefits. ESL was recognized in 2004 by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a National Center of Excellence for Displaced Emissions Reduction Calculations. ESL hosts this annual conference to share information on how to implement state and local energy efficiency policies, raise awareness of their impacts, develop and pragmatically move toward new policy goals, and to highlight and celebrate the range of successful local policies and best practices being implemented to achieve emissions reductions through energy efficiency in the built environment.
The CATEE Conference attracts an eclectic group of local and state leaders, government officials and staff, business owners, development professionals, facility managers, utility and energy services resources, industry experts, researchers, policy makers, and clean energy and air quality advocates. This is the most vibrant conversation available on pathways to a sustainable future for our cities. We want you to join us in charting a new course.
