NEW YORK—NREI will host a news desk at the 2013 Building Energy Summit being held March 26 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC.
NREI will conduct interviews with summit attendees, speakers, advisors and other guests throughout the event to gain insights on the most important topics facing the industry in relation to energy management. Firms including Liberty Property Trust, Principal Real Estate Investors, Brandywine Realty Trust, Cushman & Wakefield, Transwestern, Forest City Enterprises, Glenborough Realty Trust, Akridge, Shorenstein Cos., TIAA-CREF and others will discuss implementing and funding energy upgrades in their properties and their priorities for the rest of 2013.
“This event has become the go-to event for real estate owners, managers, and developers who want to change the way we operate buildings in the future,” Penton Media Sustainability Practice Leader Jonathan A. Schein says. “It’s not enough to just benchmark—building owners really have to DO something different in order to effect measurable change in our energy consumption. The Summit is the place for honest debate and collaboration to get things done.”
