Developing and Executing an Energy Strategy with a Positive Return on Investment

Monday, June 13, 2016 - 4:00pm-5:15pm, Washington, Lower Level

Presented by: Frank Barnes, Director, Division of Construction Management, Alabama Department of Finance

Todd Billings, Director, Business Development, Sain Engineering Associates, Inc. Brenda Phillips, Vice-President, Global Sustainability Group, Sain Engineering Associates, Inc.

With fiscal constraints, many facilities departments struggle to justify maintenance and repair projects, yet they are

expected to keep their facilities operating efficiently. In this session, a four-pillared strategy addressing metering, energy projects, efficient construction, and energy awareness is presented. When followed, this strategy will help facilities departments make a business case for their energy management program while also inviting, including, and inspiring their

organization to be actively involved in energy management. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS FRANK BARNES has over 30 years of experience in the Construction Industry. As an owner of a construction company and an interior design firm he received numerous national and regional awards for exceptional quality in construction and
