Welcome
to the 2010 ACEEE Summer Study in Buildings!
The 2010 ACEEE Summer Study is the 15th biennial ACEEE
conference on Energy Efficiency in Buildings. A diverse group of professionals from around the world will gather at this preeminent meeting to discuss the technological basis for, and practical implementation of, reducing energy use and climate impacts associated with buildings. Presentations
and discussions will relate to the theme, “The Climate for Efficiency is Now.” Global activities related to energy efficiency in buildings are rapidly expanding, in part to stimulate world economies, but also to avoid the worst consequences of climate change and resource depletion. To achieve its full potential, however, this energy efficiency “engine” needs to address sustainable development and climate issues that go beyond buildings. Well integrated programs, technologies, and financing sources need to be developed. A new generation of multi-disciplinary practitioners, researchers, and policymakers needs to be trained and quickly deployed to solve the closely-coupled energy efficiency and climate problems that we face. Come to the 2010 Summer Study, where you can share your ideas and engage in dialogue with leading thinkers, visionaries, and luminaries in the field, while experiencing the magnificent natural setting of Asilomar.
We
invite you to contribute your most creative work in
the following areas:
- energy
technologies and information technologies and practices
- market
transformation
- design
and performance of buildings
- program
design, implementation, and evaluation
- human
and social dimensions of energy use
- utility
regulation, strategies, and policy
- sustainable
communities
- integrating energy efficiency and climate change policies
- workforce training

How Do I Prepare my Paper or Display Presentation?
- Refereed Paper (for Oral or Visual Presentation)
Authors with accepted abstracts will prepare a draft paper that will be peer reviewed and returned to the author for revision. Authors will then submit a final paper to be included in the published proceedings. Authors may be asked to provide the names of up to three potential peer reviewers for their papers. Final papers are limited to 12 pages. Each author of a Refereed Paper for Oral Presentation will be allotted 20 minutes for their presentation at the Summer Study. Authors of a Refereed Paper for Visual Presentation will be assigned to a two-hour display session.
- Display Presentation
This category is designed for the
presentation of material not suited to a
refereed paper. Examples include interactive software, operable technologies, video
displays, or complex graphics.
Display sessions, scheduled on two afternoons, are designed so that participants may
circulate and discuss these presentations with their authors. Authors will be assigned to a two-hour display session, and will have an area approximately 10’ x 8’ for their displays.
Click here for more information on preparing your paper or display presentation.

Informal Sessions
Click Here to sign up to host an Informal Session or see what Informal Sessions are available.
Informal sessions are participant-organized sessions held on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. These informal sessions will allow further discussion of the presentations and other topics of importance to participants. Informal sessions are for informal presentations ONLY. Presentations should be conducted in the form of open discussions and not as forums to advertise a particular product or company.
Meeting rooms will be assigned onsite. A/V equipment is NOT guaranteed in the meeting rooms. Only those who are registered for the Summer Study can host an informal session.
