Utility/Facility Power Quality Insight Panel
Electrical Power Quality professionals with background and experience will converse and present their experiences with recognizing various power quality issues, their analysis and mitigation methods.  This is the first time that these individuals will come together to discuss a difficult to visualize issue of power quality, the “Unintended Consequence” of the facility’s aggressive approach to achieving energy efficiency, energy generation and technology advances.  Specific discussion will contain familiar topics of variable speed drives, electronic ballasts and drivers for modern lighting, elevator modernization technologies as they all exist in today’s digital world with alternating voltage power provisions.

Technology Update: Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Water Heating
David Wylie presents his technology updates for air conditioning and heat pump water heating.  Special focus will be provided for new compressor technologies with frictionless bearing compressores and variable speed screw machines.  Technologies that relate to the machine's performance, efficiency and its integration with building's autonomous operation and data availability constantly changing.  David's updated presentation will enlighten all to bring clarity to the technologies as it applies to today's built environment. 

The New Refrigerant and its Efficiency Impact

Strategies for Cooling Technologies
David Wylie, author the industry’s book on refrigerants, will speak to how sustainability concerns with global warming and ozone depletion has driven AC equipment engineers and manufactures to move to other than the mainstream refrigerants.  This shift in refrigerant choices have impact on the performances of the compressors and chillers and efficiency is not spared in the change.  Here David’s explanation of how upcoming phase out dates (e.g. 2025) is managing the manufactures to implement changes today.

Cyber Security Update for Facilities
Jodi-Ann Ito, CISO, Univestity of Hawaii's Systems, is one of the most sought after speakers in the Cyber Security circuit and she will update us on the most recent concerns and breaches that has the C-Suites scrambling.  As the Chief Information Security Officer for UH Systems, her role is to manage the security of information assets for ALL 10 of the State's campuses.  Her expertise in Cyber Security spans decades at the University of Hawaii and we are fortunate to have her speak on this Very Hot Topic.
