This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Electric utilities and government organizations offer numerous programs for buildings. They assist with energy efficiency and renewable energy investments, demand management that can lower electricity costs while reducing stress on the grid, and most recently, electrification of building end uses to both increase energy end-use efficiency and decarbonize energy use as the grid moves rapidly toward mostly renewable generation. This seminar, through examples, shares information on programs, their benefits, the opportunities they create, and in some cases the challenges they present. Three perspectives are represented: a homeowner, a utility and a federal agency.
