This collaborative workshop was co-organized with Efficiency Vermont.

Strategic Energy Management (SEM) offers a potential pathway to new energy savings opportunities for energy efficiency programs in the commercial and industrial sectors. The Northeast SEM Collaborative Workshop is a continuation of the Northeast Regional CEI discussion group and aims to address important questions regarding incorporation of SEM offerings into energy efficiency programs.

	Welcome and Introduction David Lis, NEEP
	Session 1- Level setting for Strategic Energy Management SEM 101 (what is it, what are the benefits, etc) How SEM has been utilized by energy efficiency programs Estimating potential savings in region Speakers: George Lawrence, Optimal - an additional resource can be found on MA Energy Efficiency Advisory Council website. Jess Burgess and Ted Jones, Consortium for Energy Efficiency (slides will be distributed to attendees)
	Session 2 - Sharing experiences on SEM planning and implementation Why was your program attracted to SEM? What delivery models do you use/plan to use? What are the specific mechanics of this model? How much does it cost to start up an SEM program? How much savings can be expected from SEM offerings? Do the energy savings justify the investment? How have programs evolved/blended their current industrial offerings with SEM programs? Lessons Learned: What is working and what is not? How did you get started in your planning? Speakers: Kim Crossman, Energy Trust of Oregon Greg Baker, Efficiency Vermont Sergio Diaz, Sergio Diaz Consulting Andrea Henwood, Efficiency Nova Scotia
	Lunch Speaker: Barry Coflan, Schneider Electric
