 Clean Air Through Energy Efficiency Conference (CATEE):
This unique forum provides a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy strategies for cleaner air, recognizing development and the built environment as resources for broad, cost-effective solutions.
The objectives of the conference are to increase awareness of the value of clean energy (energy efficiency and renewable energy) as a strategy for emissions reduction, inform policies and programs that affect participation in and public benefits from clean energy choices, report on TERP-funded and related programs and research and recognize examples of clean energy leadership.
Communities of every size and character within our metropolitan regions share concerns with health and sustainable development issues related to air quality. This conference will seek a more integrated view of our urban regions and the opportunities for cleaner air from clean energy strategies. The Texas Emission Reduction Plan legislation envisions the state as a leader in new technologies that solve environmental problems while creating new business and industry in the state. Air Quality 2006 will consider both legislative challenges and new opportunities in energy efficiency, location and transportation issues, and various aspects of clean energy infrastructure.

 Industrial Energy Technology Conference:
The Industrial Energy Technology Conference was created in 1979 to meet the needs of the industrial energy community. Unique in its industrial energy and waste reduction focus, this annual two-day conference is designed to serve the professionals who are involved in the production, use, or transportation of energy, or in designing and evaluating energy-related equipment and waste reduction practices.
The IETC attracts an audience from North America and internationally, and is major importance in educating the industrial energy community regarding industrial innovations, energy use and waste reduction programs, and the latest in various state and federal programs affecting industry.
In response to a growing need in the industrial energy community, the Advisory Board of the IETC added a new component to the 1993 conference that continues to this day - the Energy Managers' Workshop. Many energy managers, plant engineers, project and process engineers, or industrial energy engineers were given the added task of managing a company's energy consumption without necessarily having a deep background in energy management.
The Energy Managers' Workshop was designed to meet the needs of these individuals by providing them with energy management training and resource materials. The instructors, all professionals with years of experience in energy management at some of the largest corporations, put together a workbook containing background materials, case studies, and resource lists.
The material is presented in two four-hour sessions on the day prior to the conference itself. Designed to provide a quick survey of many aspects of energy management, the workshop was a tremendous success. Since that time it has become a standard adjunct to the IETC, and enjoys continued success and growth as the needs of the the energy management community continue to change.

 International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations (ICEBO):
Energy and environmental concerns, business evolution and technology development are setting new challenges for the operation of energy systems in buildings.
The International Conference for Enhanced Building Operation aims at being a leading place for exchanges between engineers, energy managers, state energy agencies, industrial companies, contractors and scientists interested in continuous improvement of existing building energy usage.
Addressing the question of how to transfer results from research projects to the "day-to-day" practice of building managers will be one of the main emphases of this conference.
