2003 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry

Informal Sessions Description

The record of US model-based energy forecasting yields evidence that such models provide biased estimates that tend to reinforce the status quo, inadequately inform policy-makers about new market potential, and serve to constrain the development of innovative policies. This session will provide a forum to review some of the evidence about this problem and to discuss different opportunities for capturing a more dynamic technological diffusion process that may encourage new policy development.
