This week, I will once again attend the University of California Santa Barbara’s “Santa Barbara Summit on Energy Efficiency” hosted by the Institute for Energy Efficiency. The Institute for Energy Efficiency, based at the UCSB Campus, is “an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to developing technological solutions that will forever change how energy is produced, managed, and used.”
Of course, here at Distributed Energy, much of our editorial content touches upon the production, management, and use of onsite energy, and so, I am looking forward to two days full of presentations on a variety of topics ranging from the technology, policy and financing of energy efficiency, to renewable energy, to demand reduction and the smart grid. I will be posting updates from the summit in this space—so check back for details on the different presentations as well as other information about the Summit and the Institute.
In the meantime, take a look at my report from last year’s event:
