Arriving on Saturday, we had plenty of time to get setup and get acquainted with the attendees and other exhibitors.
Already we have networked and met with several key players in the utility space to discuss Parachute Software’s web based energy efficiency incentive management technology.
In the morning we attended the general session that had a broad range of topics including the important role energy efficiency plays within the utility and end users. In addition, we experienced two critical presentations including the following topics, “Partnerships for Meeting the Customer in the Home” and “Making Solar Work for Utilities”.
Tomorrow promises to be another full day that will bring more information and education about the role energy efficiency will continue to play in our future.

Incentive programs like the proposed “Cash for Caulkers” have the dual benefit of reducing harmful emissions into the environment and stimulating the economy. While a lot of tax-payer money is going into programs like this, it can be debated that the overall benefit far outweighs the cost. While these programs are incenting individuals and businesses to become more energy efficient, it’s important to consider how efficient the programs are themselves.
