    NECA EDUCATION SESSION

    Simplifying Energy Management for Commercial and Industrial Buildings

    Sunday, September 14, 2025

    1:00 PM - 1:50 PM (50 minutes)

    The U.S. is undergoing massive change as we move to electrify nearly everything. This presents new challenges for electrical contractors and facilities managers alike. Energy Management is now top of mind for many commercial and industrial operations. Costs for nearly everything have risen over the last few years and has impacted contractor project costs. This can include the cost of materials, labor, and training required for new technology. Customer operations costs have also risen, and facilities managers are keen to manage energy consumption.

    Trying to balance complex project needs while addressing customer expectations is one of the highest priorities for electrical contractors. Now, new customer needs for energy management are a driver and often add another layer of complexity.

    We’ll show you how to keep it simple. New solutions make it easier than ever to connect electrical equipment to monitoring and control systems. Combining local monitoring and control of low voltage components from a single switchboard panel display is one example. A simplified commissioning process means meeting customer expectations while minimizing overall project complexity.

    Learning Objectives:
    1. Overview of U.S. trends driving energy management needs
    2. Learn about new ways to connect and monitor electrical equipment
    3. Show how a single switchboard panel can simplify commissioning
    4. Discuss mobile apps for use on the job
