ConnectivityWeek 2012

Applying Energy Information

If you think Energy 2.0 is the future, you’re wrong. It’s happening today.

ConnectivityWeek 2012 is exploring ways to apply Energy 2.0 -- via the connectivity of smart sensors, devices and systems -- to manage energy consumption in commercial buildings, homes and critical infrastructure.

What’s the desired result of Energy 2.0? Efficiency, actionable information through analytics, timely information to empower people, optimized use of distributed generation, peak-demand shaving, electric vehicle integration, and more.

ConnectivityWeek is a uniquely inclusive forum and the only event that gathers energy-focused stakeholders from each consumption vertical to explore the application of Energy 2.0 across:

-Commercial Buildings
-Homes and Residences
-Critical Infrastructure and Cities

Connectivity will also explore the following critical enablers of Energy 2.0:

-Demand Response
-Utilities and Energy Suppliers as providers of key information

New in 2012! ConnectivityWeek will:

-Explore Green Button efforts to develop smart energy apps for energy consumers -- an effort being drive by the White House
-Gather local innovators in engaging discussions on the future of energy
-Continue the successful Plug-In launched at Grid-Interop 2011 to provide a show-and-tell of connected, interoperating devices.
