The Northeast Regional Research and Development (R&D) Connector explores opportunities to drive greater awareness and eventual collaboration among R&D organizations in the Northeast region that aim to bring advanced energy efficiency technologies to market. In so doing, the regional connector will clarify current regional capacities and initiatives for new and emerging advanced efficiency solutions, and ultimately recommend an ongoing framework to leverage national and regional R&D to achieve new promising solutions.
To support this project, NEEP hosted a Northeast Regional R&D Connector workshop. This event brought together energy efficiency technology researchers and funders in the Northeast region to discuss frameworks for working more collaboratively, both within the region and with national efforts. The following themes were highlighted at the workshop:
1. State policy requirements for new and emerging advanced energy efficiency solutions in the residential and commercial sectors
2. Research efforts that can potentially serve as solutions for the region to achieve savings in energy use, peak demand and carbon emissions
3. Funders of the aforementioned research efforts
4. Classification of research efforts in terms of their sector applicability, stage of development and readiness for commercialization
You can now access the different presentations that were shared by our speakers during the workshop here:
