ETCC Quarterly Meeting

-


The Changing Landscape of Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Programs

Hosted by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E)

The long-standing goal of California’s Statewide Commercial EE Programs is to offer commercial customers the products and services to overcome the market barriers that impact adoption and implementation of energy efficient solutions. The changing landscape in California around energy policy, building codes, and technologies, however, has had a significant impact on commercial program strategies and is encouraging new approaches to solution implementation. Through emerging trends in Smart Meter data analytics, enabling technologies and integrated systems-based energy efficiency solutions, the path toward comprehensive, large-scale savings in commercial buildings is being paved.

Industry and utility experts will discuss the current Commercial EE strategy landscape, challenges and future strategic visions related to commercial building energy efficiency solutions from three perspectives: Utility Programs, Customers, and Products/Technologies.  A panel of experts will also discuss tactics that support the strategic visions in the changing California environment and the future of commercial whole building approaches to energy efficient solutions.
