Subcommittees

Define – Membership – Schedule –

Education/Training and Outreach The Education/Training and Outreach subcommittee is focused on identifying and developing educational tools and programs needed to develop and advance a clean energy economy. This may include community outreach and education, technical and vocational training, and/or certification and degree programs. Legislation and Policy Governmental policy is foundational to reshaping the regulatory landscape to clear the way for a new energy future. The Legislation and Policy subcommittee assists lawmakers and other clean energy advocates in analysis and development of policy opportunities to promote implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy. Energy Technology (energy efficiency and renewable energy technology) The Energy Technology subcommittee is focused on assessment and deployment of cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities. This includes conservation strategies, efficient building design, facility and utility scale renewable energy technologies, grid integration, and transportation. Business Assessment – Project Financing This group will investigate opportunities to finance assessment and implementation of efficiency and renewable energy through private investment, public-private partnerships, and local and Federal government funding opportunities and will develop business case models and strategies for deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy at scale. This subcommittee assists the Education and Training, Legislation and Policy, and Energy Technology subcommittees in performing cost/benefit analysis of programs and technology applications.
