Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)

ACEEE provides research, policy analysis, conferences and education on energy efficiency as a means of promoting both economic prosperity and environmental protection. Collaborating with experts from universities, national laboratories, and the private sector, ACEEE has helped develop efficiency programs and policies for utilities, states and the federal government. They also provide technical assistance and research on energy efficiency in building, industrial applications, agriculture and transportation.

Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE)

DSIRE is a regularly updated database of state, local, utility, and selected federal incentives that promote energy efficiency and renerwable energy. DSIRE is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by the North Carolina State University’s College of Engineering

Renewable Energy Policy Project (REPP)

REPP’s goal is to accelerate the use of renewable energy by providing credible information, insightful policy analysis, and innovative strategies amid changing energy markets and mounting environmental needs. REPP’s activities include researching, publishing, and disseminating information, creating policy tools, and hosting on-line renewable energy discussion groups.

National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO)

NAESCO publishes case studies focused on energy efficiency retrofits in local government facilities in the United States. These case studies demonstrate that local governments can modernize schools, hospitals, and municipal infrastructure and, at the same time, reduce operating costs.

International Energy Agency (IEA)

The IEA acts as energy policy advisor to 26 member countries (all members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) in their efforts to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for their citizens. The IEA’s initial role was to coordinate international measure in times of oil supply emergencies. Its work now also includes market reform, climate change policies, energy technology collaboration and outreach.
