    ACEEE's Conference on Health, Environment, and Energy (CHEE) returned to New Orleans, January 21-23, 2020. The event showcased the groundbreaking research of ACEEE’s Health and Environment program as well as the work of prominent experts and academics in this growing field. Innovative leaders from a variety of professions in the "Big Easy" explored how energy choices can affect our health and the environment. 

    Attendees participated in multiple tracks, plenary panels, moderated discussions, and interactive breakout sessions. Architects (HSW LUs), and building science professionals also earned continuing education credits at this event.

    All of these features, plus lunches, receptions, and fun activities made for an exciting opportunity to learn and network while enjoying the sights and sounds of the birthplace of jazz!

    We had a fantastic turnout for the first CHEE conference in New Orleans. Click here to see a list of the organizations that participated in 2018.
