2018 Public Sector Energy Efficiency National Conference FROM PLANNING TO ACTION The hugely successful inaugural SEAI public sector national conference in January 2017 was attended by almost 350 representatives from public bodies and government departments. Building on current achievements, and with less than three years to achieve the 33% energy saving target, this year’s conference will focus on putting energy management plans into action. Wednesday 17th January 2018 Registration from 8:30am, O’Reilly Hall, UCD, Belfield, Dublin 4 A plenary session with keynote speakers from government, There will also be an This free event academia and policy makers. energy exhibition area for public sector with stands from SEAI, Eight parallel group sessions focusing on: OPW Optimising Power@ employees only, Getting the project pipeline moving and delivering energy projects.

improving energy efficiency by Why should you attend? Under the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP), Ireland’s public sector 33 % by 2020 is charged to take a leadership role on climate action by improving its energy efficiency by 33% by 2020. The conference’s action focused agenda aims to deliver clear insights and actionable goals to enable public bodies to achieve this target. Last year, attendees learned about planning for • Learn from sectoral colleagues how to move from success; from getting Monitoring and Reporting planning to implementing energy projects to (M&R) data right, to structured energy management achieve your organisation’s energy obligations. and specific sectoral opportunities in transportation, • Share best practice and learn how to maximise behavioural change, building and facility upgrades. energy efficiency in both retrofit and capital spend The focus this year will be on moving from planning projects. to delivering projects.

Sectoral Breakout Groups Representatives of over 350 public bodies will pre-register into one of the eight sectoral breakout groups (A-H) that best fits their organisation, to maximise discussion and peer to peer learning. Where appropriate, some public bodies will be asked to send multiple representatives and attend different sessions.
