The Tang Prize (Chinese: 唐獎) is a set of biennial international awards bestowed in a number of categories by panels of judges convened by Academia Sinica, Taiwan’s top research institution. The prize was established by Taiwanese entrepreneur Samuel Yin in December 2012.
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy acts as a catalyst to advance energy efficiency policies, programs, technologies, investments, and behaviors.
ACEEE’s independent research and advocacy depend on the support of foundations, businesses, and individuals committed to a cleaner, more affordable energy future for all Americans.
