Insights into the role that ESCOs can play in transforming your energy use. 

The pace of ESCO development across Europe varies greatly.  Despite the substantial number of energy efficiency projects deployed, the principle of the ESCO is not commonplace. In this context we deliver the ESCO University.
This half-day seminar will provide you with key insights into the role that ESCOs can play in transforming your energy use, delivering increased energy efficiency and substantial cost savings.

This session has been tailored for start-up ESCOs, new energy efficiency projects, utilities exploring energy service opportunities, DSM departments and municipalities considering ESCOs to deliver increased energy efficiency and cost savings.

The leaders for this session will be Susanne Berger of Berliner Energieagentur (BEA) and Jan W, Bleyl of Grazer Energieagentur (GEA).  Both have extensive experience in the design, management, and realization of energy efficiency projects in public and private buildings since BEA and GEA are front-runners in ESCO business development since the 90s.
