The commercial buildings sector is one of the fastest growing energy consuming sectors. This is mainly due to the growth of commercial and public activities and their associated demand for heating, cooling ventilation (HVAC) and lighting. Moreover in the new economy, with a wide dissemination of information and communication technologies, information technology equipment and data centres are also an important and growing source of electricity consumption.
Greenhouse gas reduction is a common denominator of many countries' environmental policies and programmes. Commercial buildings are a key area where the CO2 reduction can, and must be realised, since it makes economic sense for the building owners and occupiers. As a consequence all actors need to take all necessary steps to disseminate good practice, foster investment in energy efficiency and provide technical solutions for the commercial building sector. This includes behaviour changes on how companies, architects, and building occupiers invest, design and operate nonresidential buildings.
The European Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings and its recast requires a major effort to improve building energy performance, including existing building and will bring the energy performance of their buildings to the forefront of building market operators. This simultaneously presents an opportunity and challenge for energy efficiency and will create additional jobs and investment. Monitor and continuous improvement of energy performance of commercial building is another important issue in achieving real energy and carbon reductions
The integration of distributed generation, district heating and cooling and renewable energy sources
(RES) would enable further CO2 and energy saving, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and facility management companies offer advanced solutions to monitor, manage and reduce the energy consumption in commercial buildings. Also number of local, regional and national policies and programmes have recently been implemented to achieve a long lasting market transformation, including white certificates, emission trading, and new financial incentives, including the Covenant of
Mayors and the Clinton Climate Initiative.
Following the success of the previous IEECB conferences we are pleased to announce the sixth
jointly organised by Messe Frankfurt and the European Commission DG JRC in conjunction with the Building Performance Congress .
The IEECB’08 conference takes place on 13 and 14 April 2010 in Frankfurt during Light+Building , the world’s leading trade fair for Architecture and Technology, 11 – 16 April 2010, in Frankfurt,
Germany. Light+Building integrates the sectors related to building design – light, electrical engineering as well as home and building automation – at one trade fair. Integrated planning approaches and systems-linking interaction of various technical trades are no longer just a vision but a growing reality.
Light+Building does justice to this with its unique international scope by presenting the subject in its entire breadth and depth. From investors to architects and engineers, up to specialist planners, process workers and operators, Light+Building is the number one industry event in 2010 for all experts involved in the conception, planning and management of buildings.
The IEECB conference brings together all the key players from this sector, including commercial
1

buildings’ investors and property managers, energy efficiency experts and building technologies researchers, equipment manufacturers, service providers (ESCOs, utilities, facilities management companies) and policy makers, with a view to exchange information, to learn from each other and to network.
At the conference key representatives of leading organisations and companies, institutions and equipment industry will present the overall picture and give details of policies, recent advancements and examples of best practice.
The wide scope of topics covered during the IEECB’08 conference includes: macro/micro approaches, state-of-the-art equipment and systems (lighting, HVAC auxiliary equipment, ICT & office equipment, miscellaneous equipment, BEMS, electricity on-site production, renewable energies, etc.) and the latest advances in R&D, tools, regulation & policy, demand-side and supply-side perspectives for all branches of activity (public and private sector, the commerce and retail sectors, hotels and restaurants, banks and insurance companies, local authorities, civil services & public bodies, education, universities & laboratories, hospitals, airport and stations, etc.).
In particular the conference aims to attract property investors, architects, and city planners to present and discuss synergies and cooperation in removing existing barriers to energy efficiency. The energy efficiency contribution to shareholder value and corporate social responsibility in publically traded companies, as well as the importance of public buildings as showcase example for energy efficiency solutions and practices.
The IEECB conference aims at attracting high level papers presenting new technologies, techniques, services, policies, programmes and strategies to increase energy efficiency, energy savings and to reduce greenhouse gases emissions in non-residential buildings. The conference covers both new buildings as well as existing buildings. Of particular interest are the existing barriers to energy efficiency investments, and analysis of behaviour of building investors, and occupiers.
