Con Edison will kick off its first Energy Efficiency Summit 2011: Racing Toward High Performance Buildings on June 1 with keynote speaker and “America’s Energy Coach” Thomas Kiser, Chairman, CEO, and founder of Professional Supply Inc. (PSI).

Most famous for the "Kiser Concept," which saved the Ford Motor Company more than $15 million in energy costs annually, Kiser shows audiences how energy efficiency is becoming a new corporate culture that can drive an organization’s economic engine. Kiser is scheduled to speak during the opening session beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Grand Ballroom.

“If anyone understands the value of high performance buildings, it is Thomas Kiser,” said David Pospisil, Con Edison C&I Program Manager. “One of our top priorities for the Con Edison Energy Efficiency Summit is to provide our commercial and industrial customers with access to high-caliber speakers who can share real-world knowledge and experience implementing energy-saving solutions for buildings.
