Conference Planning Committee
NESEA is fortunate to work with an extraordinary group of more than 90 professionals who volunteer their time to create this conference. The committee forms in April each year and meets several times throughout the summer and autumn to identify topics of interest and speakers with cutting-edge information. If you are interested in being part of the planning for BuildingEnergy12, please indicate your wishes on the evaluation form, or talk with NESEA staff.
Special thanks this year to our Chair, Bruce Coldham of Coldham and Hartman Architects and Vice Chair, Robert Leaver of New Commons. Bruce has helped systematize the planning of the conference and developed a team of Track Chairs and working group members to create diverse, data-rich content. Robert has guided the Track Chairs toward creating sessions that are even more effective learning experiences.
