ACEEE'S GRAPEVINE ONLINE
February 26, 2009 SEE YOU MARCH 29 AT THE MARKET TRANSFORMATION SYMPOSIUM & AT OUR OTHER CONFERENCES COMING UP Registrations are brisk for the 2009 National Symposium on Market Transformation to be held March 29-31, 2009 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. You can register online for the 13th annual MT Symposium which will be chock full of new and exciting information. It kicks off with "MT101," an introductory course for those new to the field who want to learn the fundamentals of Market Transformation. This year's theme, "The Changing Face of Market Transformation," will be highlighted in the opening Plenary and throughout two full days of concurrent and working sessions. View the preliminary program. Online registration is also available for the 3rd annual Energy Efficiency Finance Forum scheduled for April 23-23, 2009 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. And registration will soon be available for two more conferences: the 2009 Hot Water Forum: Water Heating, Distribution, and Use Efficiency coming up June 7-10, 2009 at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California and the 2009 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry on July 28-31, 2009 at The Conference Center Niagara Falls in Niagara Falls, New York. The program this year will highlight the ways that market transformation is evolving to meet the opportunities and challenges emerging with changes in the politics and economics of energy efficiency, economic uncertainty, increased consumer awareness, and a growing number of market players. Attendance will be high for this timely event. Be sure to register, and reserve your room early to get the reduced rates. The deadline to get the reduced room rate of $249 has been extended until Friday, March 13. Make sure to secure your reservations soon at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. More ACEEE Conferences You Won’t Want to Miss 2009 Energy Efficiency Finance Forum The 3rd annual Energy Efficiency Finance Forum, co-convened by ACEEE and Financial Research Associates, is the only conference designed to give you the opportunity to survey the energy efficiency financial landscape including the latest innovations in financial structures and models. Energy efficiency has piqued the interest of every consumer, end-user, policymaker, and investor in the past months. It has become the enabler for renewables and a viable solution to alleviating our energy demands. However, financing energy efficiency continues to remain challenging, complex, and complicated. Designed specifically for investors, financiers, utilities, and policymakers, this powerful two-day event will answer your most pressing questions regarding
2009 Hot Water Forum: Water Heating, Distribution, and Use Efficiency The 2009 Hot Water Forum will bring together manufacturers; water, gas, and electric utilities; government and other program and policymakers; and industry representatives to learn from each other and explore the potential of increasing efficiency of hot water generation, distribution, and use (fixtures and appliances) with special emphasis on the ENERGY STAR program and water efficiency. The program will feature short, results-oriented talks as well as displays of equipment, software packages, and other interesting subjects. Online registration and lodging information will be available soon. 2009 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry The 2009 ACEEE Summer Study is the 9th biennial ACEEE conference on Energy Efficiency in Industry. Participants from around the world will gather to discuss technical, policy, financing, and program issues related to increasing energy efficiency in industry. Presentations and discussions will relate to the theme, Timing is Everything: Moving Investment Decisions to Energy-Efficient Solutions. Summer Study will offer opportunities to learn about approaches to securing your boss's support for energy efficiency, financing mechanisms to pay for your project, regulatory aspects affecting energy efficiency projects, commercially-available technologies that work, and emerging technologies likely destined to be the next big thing. Attendees will include energy decision makers from industry, equipment manufacturers, government policymakers, electric and gas utility staff, energy consultants, leading industrial energy researchers, and academics. A list of the conference Panels, Panel Leaders, and accepted abstracts is available on the Summer Study Web site. For the first time, a Tech Expo will also be organized. Contact Anna Chittum at ACEEE for more information on the Tech Expo: achittum@aceee.org. Registration will be available online in early March. Look for the announcement about nominations for the 2009 Champion of Energy Efficiency awards soon thereafter. Awards will be announced and presented at the Summer Study. Applications for the Student Scholarship to Summer Study will also be announced in early spring. ACEEE’s 5th National Conference on Energy Efficiency as a Resource ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS HOT!!! Energy efficiency's importance as a utility resource has never been greater as the industry faces high and rising fuel construction costs; growing concerns about system reliability; and increasing calls for action to address global warming. This year’s conference will cover a number of impressive advances being made in utility-sector energy efficiency policies and programs, for both electricity and natural gas sectors. Make plans now to attend this important industry event. 2009 Behavior, Energy, and Climate Change (BECC) Conference Plans are underway for the 3rd annual Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference (BECC) convened by ACEEE, the Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency (PIEE), and the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE). The 2009 Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference will focus on accelerating our transition to an energy-efficient and low carbon economy through an improved understanding and application of social and behavioral mechanisms of change. This year’s conference will build on the overwhelming success of the 2008 BECC Conference in which nearly 700 participants discussed successful program strategies, shared innovative research findings, and built dynamic new networks and means of collaboration. The conference will bring together a diverse group of energy experts, social scientists, and policymakers to discuss the social and behavioral basis for, and practical implementation of, reducing energy use through the adoption and application of more energy-efficient technologies, energy conservation activities, and lifestyle changes. The conference is intended to catalyze collaboration across government, utility, business, and research sectors and to share recent research and program information with the goal of achieving viable solutions for meeting long-term energy and greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets. Look for the call for presentation and peer-reviewed paper abstracts, plus more conference information, in March. ACEEE Forum on Energy Efficiency in Agriculture More information about the 2010 ACEEE Forum on Energy Efficiency in Agriculture is coming soon! Please continue to check our Web site to chart our progress. 2010 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings Bob Hawsey from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Craig Wray from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been selected as the Co-Chairs who will lead the 2010 Summer Study. The Co-Chairs have begun working with ACEEE staff to develop a theme, develop Panel topics, and select Panel Leaders. Look for more detailed information about the 2010 Summer Study this summer when we announce the Call for Papers.
