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!
