Commercial & Industrial Information Exchange Status NEEP introduced the C&I Exchange in 2005 with two regional forums for initiative sponsors with guest speakers that addressed opportunities in new construction to increase energy savings including a focus on Best Practices in Daylighting and Commercial New Construction: Working with Green Buildings. As a follow-up, NEEP is facilitating a project of several initiative sponsors planned to assess the feasibility of regional daylighting laboratories to support industry use of best practices for daylighting. In addition to presentations by and discussions with leading experts, the regional forums provided an opportunity for a NEEP facilitated exchange between initiative sponsors of related issues, developments and experience. Participating initiative sponsors found these forums useful to inform strategic program development to increase energy savings and program cost-effectiveness, and encouraged NEEP to continue this service in 2006.
