INTRODUCTION

While the old adage "Don't Wish Your Life Away" conveys a laudable sentiment, here at ACEEE we can't help but embrace the fast approach of summer. Anticipation for the "Industry" Summer Study mounts as the final refereed papers arrive in packages in myriad shapes and sizes and the nominations received for Champions of Energy Efficiency in Industry cite good work being everywhere. Just days from now, the Early Bird Registration deadline arrives on May 20. We hope you plan to join us this summer at the 2005 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry, July 19 – 22 at The Thayer Hotel, West Point, New York.
