CEE’s Marc Hoffman spoke about the forces driving programs and their implications for the HVACR industries.

CEE Executive Director Marc Hoffman was a keynote speaker at the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) Spring Product Section Meetings in Reston, Va., on April 23.
In his talk, Hoffman identified implications for the HVACR industries from recent trends in the efficiency program industry – and the opportunities created to address these implications together.
“When I took the helm of CEE 11 years ago, we did not have a working relationship,” Hoffman told the 200-plus meeting attendees.
“I want to salute the management of ARI and its members for working with us to establish trust, which has enabled us both to benefit from working together on issues common to our industries.”
Hoffman finished his presentation by identifying three specific issues that present good opportunities for the HVAC industry and CEE membership to work together:
- Credible verification of quality HVAC installation
- More efficient gas packs for rooftop units
- Addressing peak demand
Hoffman then issued a blanket invitation to ARI members to attend CEE’s Industry Partners Meeting (Sept. 25-26 in St. Louis) to further examine these important issues.
“Let’s get these discussions going now so we have something concrete to talk about in September,” he told the audience.
“If we can get through the preliminaries to frame these issues, it will lead to more productive discussion.”
