BACKGROUND: The Energy Collaborative Analysis Initiative (ECAI) group held its second initiative workshop on June 27-28, 2007, in Washington, D.C. A select group of analysts from federal government (including the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Defense), state government (including representatives from California, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, and New York), and research institutions (such as the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, Rutgers, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology) participated in this hands-on event. The workshop focused on ways to improve cross-organizational energy analysis and targeted real ways to improve energy analysis through better data, analysis methodologies, and results.
The agenda and presentations for the June 27-28, 2007, event are accessible below. You also can access the final agenda (PDF 100 KB), speaker biographies (PDF 72 KB), and a participant list (PDF 32 KB). For more information on results of the workshop, access the Outcomes Document (PDF 128 KB).
