Conferences and Training
The Energy Systems Laboratory helps produce and host various energy and emissions related conferences, symposiums, and training.
Conferences
Texas Energy Summit
The Texas Energy Summit serves as a valuable forum to help communities improve decisions that determine the energy and water intensity of the built environment and reduce related emissions. The goals of the conference include sharing information on how to implement state and local energy efficiency policies, raising awareness of the impact of such policies, developing a move toward new policy goals, and highlighting successful policies and best practices to achieve emissions reductions.
Industrial Energy Technology Conference
The IETC is hosted by the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University. It is a one-of-a kind conference featuring topics important to industrial energy managers, utility experts, government program managers, vendors and others. The latest technologies and expertise on smart manufacturing, corporate energy management, energy opportunity analysis, and case studies of successful, real-world industrial efficiency projects are presented.

Workshops and Training
Continuous Commissioning® Workshop
Check back for future workshops. All workshops last for 3 hours. For more information, visit the Continuous Commissioning® page for contact information and more.
Continuous Commissioning® (CC®)International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3) Workshop
This workshop offers an overview of the International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3). The IC3 is a web-based software tool designed to provide a simulated performance of energy code compliance for single family residential construction. This powerful, easy to use software tool has been developed by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES).
IC3 Workshop SupportASHRAE Workshop
This workshop is intended for new or experienced engineers, architects, and code officials who anticipate either applying, conforming to, or evaluating the ASHRAE 90.1 code to commercial building projects. Content includes a cursory coverage of the entire Standard 90.1 document and a review of some of the more substantive changes/additions made since it was issued. The workshop focuses on the Mandatory and Prescriptive Requirements, while only a brief mention is made of the ECB methodology.
IECC Commercial Energy Code Training
This seminar provides building officials, inspectors and design professionals with basic information needed to enforce or comply with commercial energy provisions of the IECC and the ASHRAE 90.1 Standard. It emphasizes understanding the purpose and scope of the energy requirements and basic knowledge required to enforce chapters 1-3 and 5 of the IECC. Discussion covers how to find what you need, basic requirements, available compliance approaches, and plan review or inspection actions.
IECC Residential Energy Code Training
This seminar provides builders, designers, building officials, plan reviewers and inspectors with information needed to understand and achieve compliance with the energy provisions of the International Residential Code and the residential provisions of the IECC, as published by the International Code Council. Emphasis is on understanding the purpose and scope of the energy requirements and basic knowledge required to enforce chapters 1-4 of the IECC.
