Over the next 25 years, America’s energy needs will grow by about 10 percent, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency’s 2012 Annual Energy Outlook. Two economic forces critical to the country’s ability to meet these energy needs are the performance of U.S. organizations that innovate and produce renewable energy, clean technology, and energy efficiency (RCE) products or technology, and the energy use practices of U.S. organizations, including business, government, and nonprofits.

In an effort to identify key trends related to the intersection of these two economic forces and their growing interdependence as well as the potential effects on future energy markets, Bloomberg BNA and EnergyBoom Media surveyed more than 300 companies in the fall of 2011 and produced a three-volume Clean Technology and Energy Efficiency Benchmark Series, that reviews and analyzes the data from those surveys. The benchmark reports represent an important picture of the energy-use strategies and attitudes of North American business and government communities.

This 90-minute webinar, featuring Ted Hesser, energy efficiency and smart technologies expert with Bloomberg’s New Energy Finance, will review the findings of those surveys as published in the benchmark series and is designed to help participants understand trends in both the RCE sector and organizational sectors and how they interrelate.

Topics covered will include:

• Future energy efficiency trends and investments in U.S. business, government, and other organizations, including:
• Impacts of government incentives (or lack of)
• Investments in vehicle fleets
• Teleconferencing trends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from employee travel
• Self-generation capacity
• Leading building upgrades
• RCE sector’s perspective on its past, current, and future performance with respect to government incentives; price parity in geothermal, solar, and wind technologies; and obstacles to RCE implementation and financial performance.
