Welcome
to the 2005 ACEEE Summer Study in Industry!
July 19-22, 2005 • The Thayer Hotel • West
Point, New York
The
2005 ACEEE Summer Study is the 7th biennial ACEEE conference
on Energy Efficiency in Industry. Participants from around
the world will gather for three days to discuss technical,
policy, and program issues related to increasing energy
efficiency in industry. Presentations and discussions
will relate to the theme, Cutting the High Cost of
Energy. Attendees will include energy decision makers
from industry, equipment manufacturers, government policymakers,
electric utility staff, energy consultants, leading industrial
energy researchers, and academics.
Many options exist for cutting the high cost of energy
for industry: improving energy efficiency, reliability,
and productivity; diversifying fuel sources; and working
with government to influence policy and programs. The
2005 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry
will offer opportunities to learn about a wide variety
of cutting-edge energy technologies, measures, programs,
and strategies that cut energy costs, improve energy
reliability, reduce energy price volatility, and enhance
industrial productivity. Come to Summer Study to learn
from, and network with, fellow energy experts from private
industry, academia, government, consulting, and the
nonprofit sector.

Site Tours
Industry tours highlighting energy issues are planned
for the afternoon of July 21st, departing from the
Thayer between 1:00 and 1:30. Most site visits will
be of projects co-sponsored by NYSERDA. Tours will
be announced on the ACEEE website as scheduled; participants
may sign up on-site at registration.
