RECENT TRENDS

1 – 2 p.m.

IOT OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES AND INTELLIGENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The big boom in the Internet of Things and its connectivity of billions of devices require energy to communicate with each other. As the front end of these connected devices are supposed to make our lives easier, simpler and more energy efficient, what about the back end of these connected devices and their energy requirements? Have we solved some of our energy problems, only to create new ones?

2 –3 p.m.

ENERGY TODAY IS SMARTER, GREENER AND AUTOMATIC

How are we pushing the boundaries to make our energy spaces smarter, cleaner and safer for consumers? What have we learned from yesterday to make us smarter today, and the environment better for tomorrow? Let’s explore our options and opportunities.

3:15 – 4:15 p.m.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CALIFORNIA?

California has always been an undisputed leader in all things green. Like-minded energy efficiency champions are taking us to the next level via initiatives, policies and regulations. We have ideas but what are the next steps for us to continue to lead the way and stop climate change?
