Welcome
to the 2004 ACEEE Summer Study in Buildings!
August 22-27, 2004 • Asilomar Conference Center •
Pacific Grove, California
Join
us for the 12th biennial ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency
in Buildings. A diverse group of energy efficiency professionals
from around the world will gather at this preeminent meeting
to discuss the technological basis for, and practical implementation
of, improving energy use in buildings. Presentations and discussions
will related to the theme, "Breaking Out of the Box." Since
the field of energy efficiency is now nearly 30 years old,
but still in a process of evolution and discovery, the 2004
Summer Study affords an unparalleled opportunity to take a
step back to reflect on where we have been, identify the best
of what works and why, and to seek advice from the most innovative
minds both inside and outside of our profession on what might
be next. By "Breaking Out of the Box" of our own preconceptions,
we are hopeful that this Summer Study will challenge all of
us to new and greater achievements in our chosen field—all
while having an enjoyable time in a collegial setting. To
launch the dialog, there will be four new panel topics, including
one that is specifically designed to promote an exchange of
innovative ideas and spirited debate. Topics will include:
- technologies,
design, and performance of buildings
- market
transformation
- program
design, implementation, and evaluation
- human
and social dimensions of energy use
- regulation
and deregulation of the utility industry
- efficient
buildings in efficient communities
- energy
and environmental policies
- technology
showcase
- display
presentations
NEW!
- four
new panels including debate and roundtable sessions
- new
housing process
- new
registration options
The
conference promotes the interaction among the participants
through a balance of structured and unstructured sessions.
Refereed papers are presented in the mornings, informal and
display sessions in the afternoons, and plenary sessions in
the evenings.
