Denver — Danfoss, a manufacturer of components, controls, compressors and systems for air conditioning and refrigeration, hosted city leaders, building owners, engineers, builders, managers and other stakeholders in Denver on June 21, 2008, to discuss the growing concerns regarding energy and climate change in the building industry.

“The Owner Nexus: Will Building Owners Transform Energy Efficiency in the Built Environment?” was a part of the Danfoss EnVisioneering Symposium series, which aims to discuss and develop new technologies for sustainable business growth through engineering innovation, energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

The symposium was set in motion with a roundtable luncheon discussing “Cities in Transformation,” and was followed by feature presentations and open discussions.

The overall consensus from the presentations and discussion was that the built environment is taking a new shape and will continue to move in a more energy-efficient direction in the coming years. The driving forces behind the transformation are energy costs, and the codes and standards set in place by city leaders, building owners, engineers, builders, managers and other stakeholders.
