2019 Annual Public Meeting: Stellar EM&V

Tuesday, May 21

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Stellar is the new awesome. Stellar evaluation, measurement, and verification supports goals, policies, and programs for the energy efficiency industry in our region, and helps carry us into the future. The goal of this gathering is to bring stakeholders together to share examples of current stellar practices and look towards moonshots – ambitious, exploratory and ground breaking projects.

The meeting will open with the big picture – a panel asking about the elements in the EM&V constellation where energy resilience and building decarbonization are part of our future. A second panel will look at two guiding lights – emerging activities related to cost-effectiveness and loadshapes – that help attendees understand building performance and interactions with the grid. After lunch, we put the telescope on Advanced M&V in two areas: a workshop-style panel to share pilots and other activities, and program and evaluation applications of M&V2.0. And wrapping up, we invite challengers to shoot for the stars – are there new tools, new partnerships, barriers still to overcome in launching the full grid integration of energy efficiency? We hope you’ll join us for liftoff!

Lodging and transportation

This year, we partner again with travel company TripZero (a Certified B Corp) to offset the carbon footprint created by travels to our event. Attendees can book the Hotel Providence for $199 (compared to $279), and by booking these hotel rooms, we collectively enable TripZero to offset the carbon footprint created by our travel–at no cost to you. Book your room at the Hotel Providence now.
Through the purchase of certified carbon offsets, TripZero funds reforestation and renewable energy projects that remove pollution from the atmosphere. As these projects offset the impact of our travel, they also create lots of benefits for local communities. Learn more here.
