Plenary Sessions
State and national energy policies greatly impact the emerging technologies that are developed for energy efficiency in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. To this effect, the Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council (ETCC) has developed two plenary sessions which will delve into these issues at both a state and national level. Come join us for breakfast to learn how these policies may impact you.
Please note, schedule is tentative and sessions are subject to change without notice. Listed below are the sessions and their descriptions. They are noted in a time-line order.

Our nation is committed to reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil and developing energy efficiency technologies for buildings, homes, transportation, power systems and industry. In an attempt to tackle this massive undertaking, leading public and private organizations have developed policies to try and reach these goals. The Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council (ETCC) is supporting this endeavor by bringing together experts from these groups to discuss national policies for energy efficiency.
