The Alliance to Save Energy
The Alliance to Save Energy is celebrating its 30th Anniversary as a nonprofit coalition of prominent business, government, environmental, and consumer leaders who promote energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment, and energy security. Striving to be the world's premier organization promoting energy efficiency, the Alliance has worked to make the benefits of energy efficiency understood and practiced in the United States and around the world.
Alliance Headquarters
Practicing what it preaches, the Alliance in July 1996 established an energy-efficient headquarters in the heart of the nation’s capital that was 50 percent more efficient than the typical office suite and showcased the latest lighting and other advanced technologies. In July 2006, the Alliance moved again, this time to offices designed and outfitted to achieve the prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Silver certification (approval pending), a designation of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Working extensively with builders, engineers, architects, and Alliance Associates, the Alliance designed and remodeled the new office space to meet the stringent LEED-CI requirements. This included installing an integrated system of energy-efficient lighting hardware and software, renovating the HVAC distribution system, purchasing materials with recycled content, and extensively re-using furnishings and materials.
EE Global
The Alliance to Save Energy will host the inaugural Energy Efficiency Global Forum & Exposition (EE Global) on November 11 – 14, 2007 at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center. EE Global will serve as a gathering and showcase for the energy-efficiency industry, attracting industry professionals, academics and policy makers from around the world, not only to exchange the latest technical, commercial and policy information, but to forge partnerships and develop “best practices” policies and strategies for global implementation.
