The original pre-conference text follows:

 

Do you think all environment issues forums are the same? Would you rather engage in policy debate than simply listen to lectures and view power point presentations? This December, a new and different energy efficiency/clean air conference will engage you and tap your creative problem-solving strengths.

 

The Energy Systems Laboratory of the Texas A&M University System invites you to participate in its exciting 2007 air quality conference Clean Air through Energy Efficiency: Shaping Our Future Together, in historic downtown San Antonio at one of the city’s premiere hotels, the luxurious Westin Riverwalk, December 17-18, 2007.

 

As a conference participant, you will hear from top experts on the current status of efforts to achieve optimum results in energy efficiency and clean air attainment. You will be provided the opportunity to debate as well as learn from your peers on what programs and initiatives work and don’t work. Then, participants will be challenged to find solutions that close remaining attainment gaps. Attendees will be offered a unique opportunity to debate and shape policy in interactive, roundtable forums including elected officials, federal, state and local agency policymakers, business leaders, environmentalists, code officials, service providers, homeowners, builders and other clean air/energy efficiency stakeholders.

 

By the end of this engaging and productive forum, participants will have identified consensus points for further development and a path forward that can be measured and built upon at the Energy Systems Lab’s next forum in 2008.

 

Additional components of this event include a pre-conference “Energy Efficiency How-To Workshop,” presentations of peer-reviewed papers as presented by The Symposium on Improving Building Systems in Hot & Humid Climates, and the latest technology in the home energy rating industry, as presented by the Texas Home Energy Raters Organization.
