Northeast Retail Products Initiative Earns EPA Sustained Excellence Award
|
|
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded Northeast Retail Products Initiative a 2010 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award in recognition of its continued leadership in protecting our environment through energy efficiency. |
NEEP's Retail Products Initiative facilitates strategic coordination of the region's efficiency programs to meet aggressive state energy and environmental savings goals and related policy activities.
Under this initiative, NEEP works with regional leaders to:
(1) Establish high efficiency lighting, appliances and electronic product options as the preferred customer choice in retail sales in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region; and
(2) Support the market introduction of automated home energy management devices
NEEP aids energy efficiency program planning, design and evaluation by bringing together stakeholders to identify energy savings in certain consumer electronics.
We recently convened a stakeholder summit in Albany that included a delegation from around the globe who participated in tackling the barriers to maximizing the savings in advanced power strips (APS).
Northeast Residential Lighting Strategy
Following the 2010 Residential Lighting Workshop NEEP convened a group of professionals to serve as the advisory group for the development of a Northeast Residential Lighting Strategy that would that could be utilized in residential lighting program plans through 2020. A subsequent 2011 Residential Lighting Workshop was held to further define the strategy elements - still in process, the final document is expected to be completed by September 2011.
