The axiom 'If
You Can't Measure It, You Can't Manage It' is destined to become
increasingly relevant as organizations and individuals want to know more about
the costs, attributes and effects of the energy they consume.
Numerous reference points for the intersection of energy and IT
industries exist and are increasing. Examples include:
Nest learning thermostats, ‘smart’ meters on buildings, near real-time energy
monitoring, and embedded sensors and networked devices for command, control and
monitoring.
Underneath these emerging applications basic questions exist about value and
impact of the data and information. Does actionable information change
corporate decision-making or individual behavior? How? What ROI’s
are achievable?
Plan to join this timely discussion on the increasingly important role of
information and energy.

Sameer Vittal, Manager – Advanced
Analytics, Power Generation Services, GE Power & Water
Sameer is the Engineering Manager for Advanced Analytics at the Power
Generation Services division of GE Power & Water. He has been with GE since
2000 and leads a global team of data scientists responsible for developing
data-analytics based technologies to monitor and optimize the performance, risk
and health of gas turbine power plants. In addition to gas turbines, he has
extensive experience in developing analytics solutions for renewable energy,
primarily wind turbines.
Sameer has more than 17 years
of experience in analytics, predictive modeling, optimization, reliability
engineering, condition monitoring and risk management in the automotive and
energy industries. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences with an
interest in actuarial engineering – an emerging risk management field that
integrates techniques from engineering, operations research and actuarial
science.
Sameer has a BE in mechanical engineering
from Bangalore University as well as MS and PhD degrees in mechanical
engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
John Bracey, President, Skye Energy
Skye Energy allows commercial building owners to transform scattered building
data into clear efficiency projects and ongoing tracking of performance.
Leveraging a cloud based energy analysis platform, a building’s details can be
analyzed by marketplace experts to find, build, and implement projects,
bringing significantly lower effort and costs, better ideas, and higher volume
of sales to the efficiency market.
Prior to founding Skye Energy, John spent over 10 years conducting technical
energy analysis on commercial buildings, training architects and engineers on
how to build better buildings. He has spoken at numerous industry
conferences on best practices.
John holds a BS in mechanical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Participants can attend for free in person at the Centergy
Building on Georgia Tech's campus or via Webinar.
