The single biggest untapped source of energy onon the planet: You
The MIT Energy Club and the Yale Center for Business and the Environment are pleased to present the fourth annual installment of the Carbon Finance Speaker Series, Blueprint for Efficiency. This series of free, public webinars will feature the latest developments in energy efficiency policy, investment, technology, and community engagement.
Across the country, states are setting aggressive energy efficiency mandates -- from 10% to 25% reduction in the coming decade. Smart meters, retrofits, and more efficient appliances will help us achieve our goal, but only if we can get a large portion of households to buy in. Historically, efficiency program participation rates have been low (less than 5%), but emerging broad-scale, behavior based efficiency provides the potential to meet those goals through a combination of small changes in day to day consumption among more than 80% of households, and improving participation of traditional efficiency programs.
Progressive utilities, including United Illuminating on behalf of the CT Energy Efficiency Fund, are now incorporating behavior-based efficiency into their overall energy saving approach. OPOWER is the leading provider of behavioral efficiency , generating more than 400 GWh of savings in 2011 to 50+ clients across the US. Using a multi-channel approach, behavioral science, and leading UX, OPOWER helps households save energy by removing the black box of consumption, and motivating consumers to act.
Please join us for a live conversation with United Illuminating's Kirsten Brooks and OPOWER's Barry Fischer and Chris Corcoran to discuss the application and opportunity of behavioral efficiency in the US.
