IEEE International Conference on Energy Conservation and Efficiency 2018

on 18/10/2018

IEEE-Energy Conservation is a novel way to address the alarming electricity supply and demand gap. The increased awareness regarding renewable energies especially solar and wind energy has also stimulated the trend towards energy conservation techniques and energy efficient devices to optimize the energy demand and money saving. This forum will specifically outlook Pakistan’s perspective over broad range of areas such as practical implementation of energy modeling, smart controls, renewable energies, resources management, combined heat and power, building design, efficient building systems, etc. Furthermore, technological advancements such as energy efficient devices, drives and controls shall also be included with the objective of practical advancements in efficient energy systems.

In the spirit of providing an opportunity for collaboration and platform for knowledge exchange, University of Engineering and Technology Lahore, Pakistan and FSK Energy Efficiency and Conservation Organization (A Foundation of FSK Ltd.)  are organizing IEEE International Conference on Energy Conservation on 16-17 October 2018 at UET Lahore, Pakistan in collaboration of Punjab Government PEECA and IEEE IAS (Industrial Applications Society, USA); inviting engineers, researchers, energy experts, manufacturers, and building designers to interact, discuss, explore and exchange ideas in the fastest growing field of Energy Efficiency and Conservation strategies. Demand side energy management and optimization has seen great technological advancements over the years making it viable solution in current energy situation of Pakistan. The event is intended to create a professional as well as educational network bringing interested experts and community together.
