marketplace in the Southeast region. The workshop will provide a forum for
utilities, state energy offices and other energy-related organizations to
network and learn in a collaborative environment about the key program
design aspects necessary to establish a successful Home Performance with
ENERGY STAR® program.
Learn how program sponsors in 20+ states are beginning to transform the
home improvement marketplace beyond free "clipboard" home energy audits and
single-measure rebates with a whole-house approach that is poised for
comprehensive, integrated market transformation of the existing home
improvement marketplace.
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® is a national program from the U.S.
EPA and U.S. DOE that encourages a comprehensive, whole-house approach to
improving energy efficiency and comfort at home, while helping to protect
the environment.
All Registrants will receive an updated edition of the "Home Performance
Industry Compendium" -- an online snapshot of key home performance industry
programs, allies and resources for prospective program sponsors along with
a bibliography of published papers, presentations, proceedings and research
studies regarding home performance topics.
This workshop is intended for program designers with Southeastern U.S.
energy utilities of all sizes as well as program design allies.
