<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">The
2010 ACEEE Summer Study is the 15th biennial ACEEE conference on Energy
Efficiency in Buildings. A diverse group of professionals from around
the world will gather at this preeminent meeting to discuss the
technological basis for, and practical implementation of, reducing
energy use and climate impacts associated with buildings. Presentations
and discussions will relate to the theme, “The Climate for Efficiency
is Now.” Global activities related to energy efficiency in buildings
are rapidly expanding, in part to stimulate world economies, but also
to avoid the worst consequences of climate change and resource
depletion. To achieve its full potential, however, this energy
efficiency “engine” needs to address sustainable development and
climate issues that go beyond buildings. Well integrated programs,
technologies, and financing sources need to be developed. A new
generation of multi-disciplinary practitioners, researchers, and
policymakers needs to be trained and quickly deployed to solve the
closely-coupled energy efficiency and climate problems that we face.
Come to the 2010 Summer Study, where you can share your ideas and
engage in dialogue with leading thinkers, visionaries, and luminaries
in the field, while experiencing the magnificent natural setting of
Asilomar.</font> </p>
