SUMMARY:Energy Efficiency Policy Forum
DESCRIPTION:As we approach a pivotal moment for energy policy\, the 2024 election will determine whether the next administration and the 119th Congress will continue to advance energy efficiency or reverse some of the substantial progress made in recent years. Historic investments through the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have set the stage for significant improvements in clean transportation\, affordable housing\, and industrial innovation. However\, with a new administration and Congress on the horizon\, the future of these policies hangs in the balance. \nThe 2024 Energy Efficiency Policy Forum will convene experts and leaders from across government\, industry\, and advocacy to assess the current landscape of federal energy efficiency policies\, explore ways to strengthen and expand these efforts\, and discuss how to address potential challenges ahead. In the face of uncertainty\, we will chart a path forward—whether that means building on existing achievements\, defending against policy rollbacks\, or seizing new opportunities to lower consumer energy costs\, boost U.S. competitiveness\, and combat the climate crisis. \nThe forum will feature keynote addresses by government leaders as well as sessions focusing on: \n\nEquitable and Efficient Housing. Panelists will discuss their successes and challenges in implementing new building efficiency programs\, how programs can be improved\, and energy efficiency’s role in alleviating rising household costs.\nIndustrial Competitiveness and Adequate Power. Panelists will examine the needs of industrial firms as they seek to transform their operations to reduce energy costs and decrease their reliance on fossil fuels and carbon-intensive processes. We will examine how the federal government can facilitate or hinder this transition.\nTransportation Reauthorization. Every five years\, Congress must reauthorize hundreds of billions of dollars in federal surface transportation programs for highways\, intercity rail\, and public transit. We will explore opportunities to improve the efficiency of electric vehicles and our nation’s critical freight systems\, including a state perspective.

SUMMARY:Marketing and Promoting Electrification Using Behavioral Science
DESCRIPTION:A new nationwide survey of nearly 2\,000 homeowners and renters found that among those interested in transitioning their homes from fossil fuels to efficient electric systems\, the most common reasons were the environment\, health and safety\, and energy efficiency. Perceptions of the expensiveness of switching to electricity and specific preferences about cooking with gas dominate the barriers to electrification. And customers with specific beliefs and experiences are most likely to switch. Putting these findings into practice is the real challenge. How do we encourage electrification more broadly using behavioral science? \nJoin us for a webinar as we delve into the details of this new report and discuss the findings with experts in the field. Attendees will learn about programs that have successfully moved households to electrify from Washington\, DC\, and the rest of the country.

SUMMARY:2022 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings
DESCRIPTION:After a successful virtual event\, the 2022 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings will return to our usual\, beloved location — the gorgeous grounds of Asilomar Conference Grounds near Monterey\, California.  Our theme for the 22nd biennial event is “Climate Solutions: Efficiency\, Equity\, and Decarbonization.” \nEnergy efficiency and demand flexibility in buildings are critical parts of local\, state\, federal\, and utility decarbonization strategies\, enabling higher penetrations of variable renewable energy sources and electrification.  As we transition to the new clean energy economy\, when and where demand-side resources provide grid services is increasingly important for a reliable\, low-cost\, decarbonized future.  At the same time\, rapid changes in policies and programs signal a shift in approaches to bring equity and environmental justice to the forefront of climate solutions. \nCome join professionals from around the world to discuss the science and policies that equitably advance efficiency in our built environment and reduce climate impacts.  Thirteen panels covering a wide range of topics — focusing on technologies\, policies\, equity\, behavior\, and resilience — will provide for a diverse and exhilarating exchange of ideas and information. The 2022 Summer Study is the ideal forum for learning and discussing topics related to these important issues in both formal sessions and casual settings.  Bring your ideas\, experience\, and vision to share and collaborate with friends and colleagues.
