CHICAGO, February 22, 2016 - Global visionaries from companies like Marriott, Cisco and JLL, will open the 2016 Building Energy Summit, taking place on March 16 in Washington D.C., with a look at how today's technologies are changing the way commercial buildings are built, managed and experienced.

"In addition, we're going to continue the conversations that began at COP21 about the role of commercial buildings in reducing greenhouse gases and combating climate change."
