2005 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry

Informal Sessions Description

The Making Connections Roundtable Session will showcase key leaders in the regional CHP Initiatives and Regional Application Centers, along with national CHP spokespersons, who will discuss successful CHP technologies, programs, incentives, and policies. This informal session highlight projects, programs, and policy initiatives that are working to grow the marketplace for combined heat and power in states and localities across the country. Audience participants will be able to not only identify where CHP Initiatives and Application Centers are currently active, identify opportunities for cooperation, and share their own experiences with this very important, and growing, group of energy technologies. Joint initiatives for the future may be discussed as well as lessons learned and problems to be avoided.

The Roundtable Session is being proposed as an ancillary effort to the Poster/Display Session on CHP, which will illustrate the locations, contact person(s), and areas of focus for each of the Regional Initiatives and Application Centers. Handout materials for each Initiative and Center will be designed and coordinated so that Summer Session attendees may see the full panoply of CHP issues and activities underway throughout the U.S.

Confirmed roundtable participants include:

Jan Brinch, Energetics, Incorporated, Moderator
Merrill Smith, CHP Program Manager, U.S. DOE
Patti Garland, CHP Program Manager, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Ted Bronson, Regional CHP Application Center Coordinator and MW CHP Initiative
Suzanne Watson, Regional CHP Initiatives Coordinator
