Through its Regional Deployment Initiatives, NEEP develops and facilitates working groups and advisory committees that include sponsors and other invited participants from the six New England states, New York and New Jersey.

These organizations work together to increase the marketplace availability and adoption of quality energy efficient practices, technologies, and whole building solutions that minimize net energy use.

NEEP serves as an information resource for policymakers, advocates, and efficiency program administrators to support the adoption and implementation of public policies that advance the efficient use of energy in the buildings sector.

We accomplish this through policy research and outreach, and through specific projects such as building energy codes, appliance efficiency standards, and high performance buildings.

The Regional Evaluation, Measurement and Verification Forum (EM&V Forum) supports the development and use of common and/or consistent protocols to evaluate, measure, verify, and report the savings, costs, and emission impacts of energy efficiency.

The Forum's projects and activities include a mix of protocol development, research & evaluation and education/information access activities.

NEEP's Northeast Energy Efficiency Summit brings together thought leaders from across the region in public policy, business, and consumer and environmental advocacy, to support the vision of energy efficiency as a solution to the challenge of reliable and clean energy.

The 2010 Summit, "Delivering on the Promise" will be held in Boston, MA on March 30 and 31 at the Hyatt Regency.
