Welcome
to the 2008 ACEEE Summer Study in Buildings!
The
2008 ACEEE Summer Study is the 14th biennial ACEEE conference
on Energy Efficiency in Buildings and will be held August
17–22, 2008. A diverse group of energy efficiency
professionals from around the world will gather at this
pre-eminent meeting to discuss the technological basis
for, and practical implementation of, reducing energy
use in buildings. Presentations and discussions will
relate to the theme, "Scaling Up: Building Tomorrow's
Solutions." What started out at the Summer Study
nearly three decades ago as a fringe activity is now
mainstream: energy efficiency in buildings. Energy efficiency
now represents our best hope to avoid the worst consequences
of global warming and energy resource depletion. But
to achieve this potential, the energy efficiency "engine"
has to be greatly expanded. New programs, technologies,
and financing sources need to be developed. A new generation
of energy efficiency practitioners, researchers, and
policymakers needs to be trained and deployed to solve
the problems we face. Do you have ideas about how to
make this happen? Come share your ideas and engage in
dialogue about these issues at the 2008 Summer Study.
Exchange ideas with some of the leading thinkers, visionaries,
and luminaries in the field while experiencing the magnificent
natural setting that is Asilomar.
We
invite you to contribute your most creative work in
the following areas:
- energy
technologies and information technologies
- market
transformation
- design
and performance of buildings
- program
design, implementation, and evaluation
- human
and social dimensions of energy use
- utility
regulation, strategies, and policy
- sustainable
communities
- energy
and environmental policy
- energy
efficiency and visions of the future
