(Washington, DC, May 16, 2023)—The CxEnergy 2023 Conference & Expo, the leading event focused on commissioning, energy management, and building diagnostics, achieved tremendous success. The conference witnessed a high turnout of attendees, attracting a diverse range of participants interested in learning about the significance of commissioning. Notably, ACG introduced a special $99 rate for facility managers and building owners for the first time.

 

“Thank you for putting on this conference, this was my first and I really enjoyed it. Learned a lot from the owner’s perspective and spoke with some great and knowledgeable people.”
Dana Coolbroth, PE, PMP, NIST – Office of Facilities & Property Management, National Institute of Standards and Technology, CxEnergy 2023 Attendee

 

CxEnergy commenced with an organizational update from ACG Executive Director Ray Bert, who announced updates to the ACG Building Systems Commissioning Guideline that is free to building owners and facility managers.

Ginger Scoggins, PE, CEM, CxA, FASHRAE, ASHRAE Incoming President, also addressed the attendees, highlighting the recent MOU between the presenting organizations and ASHRAE.

 

The CxEnergy technical program covered a wide range of topics, including ESG for independent third-party Cx providers, sustainability, decarbonization, electrification, and funding opportunities for Cx and energy professionals under the Inflation Reduction Act. With over 32 sessions, the program fostered insightful discussions. Moreover, the expo hall featured more than 40 exhibitors, who showcased commissioning software, controls, TAB instrumentation, and other services. Many exhibitors have been loyal participants for seven consecutive years, including their participation in virtual renditions of CxEnergy in recent years.

 

“The mix of attendees is great. This year I’ve been meeting with owners, general contractors, and of course my commissioning clients.”

-Joe Pascal, Facility Grid, Gold Sponsor/Exhibitor

$650 (includes application fee, workshop & exam)
Note: Individuals who are interested in CxA certification must submit a completed CxA Application in advance of the test date to get approved to take the CxA exam.
 

CxA certification is open to independent industry professionals who meet all education and experience prerequisites and implement commissioning processes in new and existing buildings.

The CxA exam is a four-hour, closed-book exam consisting of 130 multiple-choice questions. The exam tests candidates on elements of the commissioning process, as well as general understanding of building systems and how commissioning fits in with the construction process. ACG recommends that all candidates thoroughly study the ACG Commissioning Guideline to prepare for the exam. Other reference materials are also available. Individuals who are attending CxEnergy may also want to register to attend the Workshop as final preparation for the exam.

COVID-19 Update

 

Dear CxEnergy attendees, ACG, EMA & AABC members:

After taking into account the current COVID-19 situation, continued hotel restrictions due to the virus, current registration numbers and, most importantly, feedback from our members and other potential attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors on their willingness to attend in-person, the ACG Board of Directors has made the decision to hold CxEnergy 2021 as a fully virtual event.

The Board did not make this decision lightly, holding biweekly discussions since November on the status of the conference. In the end, they concluded that because of the continuing uncertainty, pivoting now to a virtual event was the best decision. This will allow the event to take place during the month of April, while bringing the largest number of educational sessions to the greatest number of people.

Registration, including free access for members of ACG, EMA and ACG, will open soon. To see the complete virtual program, click here. Highlights of this year’s format include:

  • Two live virtual presentations each week during the month of April (Tuesdays & Thursdays).
  • A short virtual business session for ACG and EMA association updates.
  • 8 additional prerecorded technical sessions available to members and registered attendees, for a total of 16 hours of educational offerings.
  • A separate, dedicated “Technology Day,” designed to allow you to attend short, rapid-fire sessions with CxEnergy exhibitors over a period of a few hours, to keep up with their latest offerings in support of your commissioning, energy management, and testing businesses, as well as the opportunity to win a number of sponsored prizes.   

More information will be forthcoming soon. Please email [email protected] with any questions. We hope that you are all staying safe and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you virtually again this year and then in person again, finally, in Orlando in 2022!

Sincerely,

ACG Headquarters Staff
