Market Transformation
for Energy Efficiency
ACEEE is a
central hub in a large-scale, coordinated effort to accelerate the
market penetration of more efficient products and practices. Through
a cooperative agreement with the U.S. EPA, ACEEE has taken responsibility
for a number of key initiatives in the area of Market Transformation.
Activities
- Host
the annual Market Transformation
Symposium.
This Spring event annually brings hundreds of practitioners to
Washington, D.C. for two days of presentations and discussions.
Participants include policy makers, manufacturers, program planners,
implementers, and evaluators and their trade partners. Presentations
delivered at each symposium are archived under ACEEE's Past
Meetings.
- Coordinate
the Market Transformation Roundtable. The MT Roundtable is
an ongoing discussion with key players and stakeholders in the
field of market transformation. The Roundtable holds several telephone
conferences each year to maintain dialogue on current issues and
activities.
- Research
and Publish Reports on Market Transformation Topics. ACEEE
advances the quality of market transformation efforts by researching
and evaluating existing programs.
We also explore new opportunities for increased MT activity in
the residential and commercial
sectors, focusing on high-efficiency equipment, proper sizing
and installation, and systems approaches to acheiving high building
performance.
- Assisting
other organizations to meet their goals. ACEEE provides analytical
and other support for groups like the Consortium
for Energy Efficiency and various regional initiatives such
as the Northeast
Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP), the Northwest
Energy Efficiency Appliance (NEEA), and the Southwest
Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP).
- Identifying
and advancing new technologies and approaches. ACEEE publishes
reports on the status potential for select current technologies
and on high-priority emerging
technologies and practices.
- Residential
retrofits. We are screening, evaluating, and developing creative
approaches to the challenge of helping consumers save energy in
their own homes, by linking energy efficiency to other values,
such as comfort and aversion to risk. An
updated list of reports reviews the work we have completed.
- Commercial
Building Performance. ACEEE has developed a Buliding
Performance Resources site for members of the energy efficiency
community involved in research and program implementation related
to commissioning, retrocommissioning, and other activities that
improve the performance of commercial buildings.
Together, this
program plan is a balanced approach, exploring new directions, and
helping the people who build and operate energy efficiency and market
transformation programs in the field.
