Transportation and Energy
South East Chapter
September 20, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
|
Most events sponsored by the Association of Energy Engineers are related in some way to the use of electricity and heating fuels in buildings or associated technologies of which there are many. In organizing this event, the National Capital Chapter wants to highlight energy projects that relate to infrastracture systems that support transportation but not the actual transportation systems to stay within AEE’s typical domain.

In the United States, energy use within the transportation sector comprises of about 30% of all energy used. That percentage varies around the world, ranging from 20 to 33%.
Much emphasis today is in storage of electricity. This is made more so by the increasing portion of energy that is derived from renewable sources as it is made available (e.g., sun and wind). The transportation sector is receiving much attention in how it can serve to store electricity that may be in excess for use at any time.

Our chapter of AEE recognizes and endorses all efforts to make energy efficient transportation systems and alternatives available to the public and to the business and commercial sectors. We attempt to organize events where members can utilize these alternatives.
