Fortunately, you are not traveling alone. At this conference, you’ll hear from various experts who have “been there, done that,” and will share their experiences, results and, most importantly, lessons learned so you can map your plan for success. But equally as important, we’ll also focus on strategies to integrate evaluation and implementation into the process to achieve incrementally better outcomes. Join us as we explore these topics and more: • Performance Assessment of Automated M&V Methods • An Industry in Transformation and What it Means for Energy Services Providers • Real-time Custom Impact Evaluation • Lessons Learned from a Whole-building Approach to the Multifamily Market • A New Program and Evaluation Approach to Multifamily Weatherization • Hard Questions about the Goal, Role and Future of Behavioral Programs • Ensuring that Energy Efficiency Opportunities Become Projects • Optimizing Program EM&V Results – Key Implementation Practices • Knowing How to End or Transition a Mature Program • A Higher Bar for Measure Cost Studies • Developing Attribution Research that Makes a Difference • Utility Applications of Building Benchmarking Data CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CONFERENCE AGENDA*   OPENING PLENARY The State of Energy Efficiency: Reflections on a 35-Year Engagement with Its Practitioners Ralph Cavanagh from the Natural Resources Defense Council will reflect on the 35-year progress of energy efficiency in America, and NRDC’s role with electric and natural gas utilities. He will also share his insights on the next phase of federal regulation on carbon pollution. CLOSING PLENARY Rolling the Dice: California’s Effort to Secure a Long-term Energy Efficiency Resource through Collaboration Moderator: Greg Wikler, Navigant Consulting Panelists: Janice Berman, Pacific Gas & Electric; Lauren Casentini, California Energy Efficiency Industry Council/CLEAResult; Howard Choy, Local Government Sustainable Energy Coalition/Los Angeles County; and Lara Ettenson, Natural Resources Defense Council What can you learn from California’s ongoing efforts to develop a framework and process for long-term EE program cycles? The key ingredient for the so-called rolling cycle framework is collaboration among parties that are typically not accustomed to working together. Learn from the stakeholders on how they worked through different viewpoints to develop an impactful rolling cycle framework for California. UTILITY-ONLY ROUNDTABLES On August 4, join fellow utility members in roundtable discussions organized by topics that are highly relevant to you, including a discussion on the latest developments in Ohio and Indiana.
