Koppel, special correspondent for NBC News' "Rock Center" and contributing columnist for The New York Times, will serve as keynote luncheon speaker, addressing how current events in the Middle East will impact energy prices and how the results of the presidential election will influence future energy policy.

WEEC 2012 will feature seminars on a variety of topics, including energy policy, high-performance buildings, and energy-management “best practices” for the federal, commercial, institutional, and industrial marketplace; stimulus funding, green jobs, and financing will be covered in detail. The event also will feature a 100,000-sq-ft exhibition of new lighting, HVAC, and energy-management technologies.

WEEC is hosted by Science Applications International Corp. and presented by The Association of Energy Engineers.
