The demand-side management (DSM) landscape is shifting as utilities capture fewer and fewer savings from existing DSM programs per dollar expended. In response, utilities are looking toward emerging technologies for new savings opportunities. This web conference outlines a set of best practices for moving emerging technologies from the lab and into programs; we will feature case studies from pioneers in emerging technology.

Speakers:

Kate Drexler, Research Manager, E Source
Derek Okada, Senior Project Manager, DSM Strategy & Compliance, Southern California Edison
Starr Van Raalten, Project Manager, Emerging DSM Technology Planning & Integration, Southern California Edison
Gary Cushman, Program Manager of Emerging Technologies, Nicor Gas

Who should attend: Anyone who works in in emerging technologies, program development, design, and screening.

Unlike end uses such as lighting and HVAC where efficiency is increasing, the long-term trend for plug loads isn’t very promising. We are seeing a proliferation in personal and office electronics. And with so many devices plugged in everywhere, addressing the situation is becoming increasingly important. However, meeting the challenges inherent in the sheer volume of plug loads is difficult. Join us for this discussion on many of the problems and potential solutions in a 90-minute, interactive roundtable discussion with industry experts.

Speakers:
Essie Snell, Senior Research Associate, E Source
Michael Shepard, CEO, E Source
Ty Stober, Initiative Lead, Televisions, Residential Sector, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance
Derek Okada, Strategic Planning Project Manager, Southern California Edison
Noah Horowitz, Senior Scientist and Director, Center for Energy Efficiency Standards, Natural Resources Defense Council
Gregg Hardy, Vice President, Policy & Research, Ecova
Kari Montrichard, Program Manager, Residential Marketing, BC Hydro

You will learn:

• Some of the unexpected and surprisingly large phantom draws
