The Association of Energy Engineers' mission is "to promote the scientific and educational interests of those engaged in the energy industry and to foster action for Sustainable Development."

In service of that mission, the AEE is gathering again this year to help members of the business, industrial and governmental communities decide how best to affordably, securely and reliably supply power to their facilities.

Topics at the 24th GLOBALCON 2013 will include facility energy efficiency improvement and cost control; renewable and alternative energy applications; on-site and distributed power generation; integrated building automation and energy management tools; new lighting technologies; efficient HVAC and smart grid building systems; boiler and steam system efficiency; project cost management strategies; and much more.
