Third Party Financed Energy Efficiency Lab Projects – Taking the Right Steps

Monday, September 22, 2014
11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This two session symposium explored the perspectives of owners (both academic and government) and energy service companies (ESCOs) to:

• Help identify optimal strategies for initiating energy efficiency projects
• Describe approaches to overcoming potential obstacles
• Address lab process equipment efficiency
• Recommend options for measurement and verification (M&V) that can build confidence for both sides.

The symposium included a facilitated discussion with the speakers and provided opportunities for the audience to share their stories and experiences.
