About BECC 2009

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (PEEC), and the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE) are pleased to have held the 3rd annual Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference (BECC). This 2009 conference was held in Washington, D.C., November 15–18th at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel near the National Zoo.
 
The conference brought together people from across the nation and around the world to share the latest insights, research, and experiences pertaining to behavior, energy and climate change. 
 
The 2009 Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference was the 3rd annual conference to 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 built on the overwhelming success of previous BECC Conferences in which participants discussed successful program strategies, shared innovative research findings, and built dynamic new networks and means of collaboration.  This conference brought 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 2009 BECC Conference was convened by the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE),University of California Office of the President; the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (PEEC),Stanford University; and the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE).
