February 22, 2008—The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) recently released a report that profiles 90 of America’s leading energy efficiency programs. Together, these programs provide a vivid demonstration of how energy efficiency is America’s cheapest, fastest, and cleanest new energy resource, says ACEEE.
The 90 programs were selected from across the US as examples of highly successful and effective energy efficiency programs. They cover 20 different categories, ranging from industrial processes to residential lighting. ACEEE says it selected these outstanding programs from a large set of nominations submitted in a national search.
Compendium of Champions: Chronicling Exemplary Energy Efficiency Programs from Across the U.S. summarizes ACEEE’s second national review and selection of exemplary energy efficiency programs.
As with the first such review completed in 2003, ACEEE recognizes outstanding energy efficiency programs and honors the people and organizations responsible for their successes. In addition to profiles describing each program, the report makes a number of overall observations on the factors that make these exemplary programs stand out.
Programs chosen for honors were deemed to be especially noteworthy for their effectiveness and innovation in helping customers achieve greater levels of energy efficiency in their homes, businesses, and facilities. In doing so, these programs not only reduced customers’ energy costs, they also generated broader economic and environmental benefits.
The report, including all the profiles, can be downloaded for free or purchased for $75 plus $5 postage and handling from ACEEE Publications.
