What's It About?

It attempted to try and identify "best program practices" for energy efficiency program administrators who are charged with planning and managing energy efficiency programs.  However, new program offerings need to satisfy a myriad of considerations that vary from State to State or even within a particular State.  Further, not all programs are subject to the same criteria when it comes to incorporating new program offerings or measures.

The objectives of this session were to:

• Identify and build awareness of key questions and common considerations that administrators should be mindful of in planning C&I programs
• Understand common program drivers, constraints and resources that impact program planning, priorities and options.

What is Ask the Experts?

This event is part of the Ask the Experts series of free workshops presented in webinar format to help new or prospective efficiency program administrators tackle energy efficiency program issues in depth. Hear from top program administrators about how they approached designing effective residential gas heating programs, what worked, and what lessons they learned. The format is both informative and interactive, so be sure to bring your questions.

Who Should Attend?

With all the current policy attention to energy efficiency, there are more newcomers to energy efficiency program administration as well as existing administrators that must respond to significant policy or market changes.  This webinar is designed to help new energy efficiency program administrators identify fundamental planning considerations and options for commercial and industrial (C&I) efficiency programs.  Those who will benefit most from this session are portfolio-level C&I program planners.
