The 2010 ACEEE Summer Study is the 15th biennial ACEEE conference on
Energy Efficiency in Buildings. A diverse group of professionals from
around the world will gather at this preeminent meeting to discuss the
technological basis for, and practical implementation of, reducing
energy use and climate impacts associated with buildings. Presentations
and discussions will relate to the theme, "The Climate for Efficiency is
Now." Global activities related to energy efficiency in buildings are
rapidly expanding, in part to stimulate world economies, but also to
avoid the worst consequences of climate change and resource depletion.
To achieve its full potential, however, this energy efficiency "engine"
needs to address sustainable development and climate issues that go
beyond buildings. Well integrated programs, technologies, and financing
sources need to be developed. A new generation of multi-disciplinary
practitioners, researchers, and policymakers needs to be trained and
quickly deployed to solve the closely-coupled energy efficiency and
climate problems that we face. Come to the 2010 Summer Study, where you
can share your ideas and engage in dialogue with leading thinkers,
visionaries, and luminaries in the field, while experiencing the
magnificent natural setting of Asilomar.
We invite you to contribute your most creative work in the following areas:
* energy technologies and information technologies and practices
* 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
* integrating energy efficiency and climate change policies
* workforce training
*Deadline to submit abstract is October 23, 2009.*
