International Association for Energy-Efficient Lighting (IAEEL)-Newsletter IAEEL's current newsletter has a special lighting issue of the Caddett newsletter, due to the kind support of Novem in the Netherlands. Together, they offer almost 60 pages of reading on lighting efficiency. In this issue, they continue to look into fuel-based lighting. The financial and environmental implications of the very inefficient fuel-based solutions and how they deserve both attention and action. Also, they have published an update on the CFL markets again. Please check out their latest issue! Ernest Orlando Lawrence founded this Lab, the oldest of the national laboratories, in 1931. Lawrence invented the cyclotron, which led to a Golden Age of particle physics and revolutionary discoveries about the nature of the universe. Known as a mecca of particle physics, Berkeley Lab long ago broadened its focus. Of our nine Nobel Prizes, five are in physics and four in chemistry. Today, we are a multiprogram lab where research in advanced materials, life sciences, energy efficiency, detectors and accelerators serves America's needs in technology and the environment. The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency, charged with ensuring a reliable and affordable energy supply. Created by the Legislature in 1974 and located in Sacramento, the Commission Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency The Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE), Canada's centre of excellence for energy efficiency and alternative fuels information, is playing a dynamic leadership role in helping Canadians save millions of dollars in energy costs while addressing the challenges of climate change. Established in April 1998 as part of Natural Resources Canada, the OEE's mandate is to renew, strengthen and expand Canada's commitment to energy efficiency. The OEE originated out of Canada's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by six percent below 1990 levels by the period between 2008 and 2012, as agreed to in the Kyoto Protocol. Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology Solstice is the Internet information service of the Renewable Energy Policy Project and the Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (REPP-CREST), and is your site for sustainable energy and development information. Cool-Companies is the official site of the Center for Energy & Climate Solutions, a one-stop-shop that helps organizations reduce greenhouse gas emissions with practical advice, tools and technologies. The Efficiency News is produced by the Alliance to Save Energy, a nonprofit coalition of prominent business, government, environmental, and consumer leaders who promote the efficient and clean use of energy worldwide to benefit the environment, the economy, and national security. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network of the US DOE This site is a comprehensive resource for DOE’s energy efficiency and renewable energy information plus access too more than 600 links and 80,000 documents Since 1990, the Energy Ideas Clearinghouse (EIC) has served energy professionals in the Pacific Northwest by providing fast, centralized access to comprehensive and objective information, education, resources, and technical assistance for increasing energy efficiency. The Clearinghouse offers timely information on products and technologies; national, state, and local programs; and the environmental aspects of energy use. Topics include HVAC, lighting, industrial electrotechnologies, life cycle cost analysis, market transformation, energy policy, renewable energy, agricultural energy issues, cogeneration, and many more. Energy Star Products and Programs Energy Star is a voluntary partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, product manufacturers, local utilities, and retailers. Partners help promote efficient products by labeling with the ENERGY STAR logo and educating consumers about the unique benefits of energy efficiency products. In addition to labeled products, ENERGY STAR offers voluntary partnerships which promote energy efficiency, reduce air pollution, and save money for businesses large and small. Each year, these partnerships save over $1 billion in energy costs while also cutting air pollution. Whether you're a small business or large corporation, they can benefit you, too.

International Association of Energy-Efficient Lighting The International Association for Energy-Efficient Lighting (IAEEL) is a global contact network and an information resource for high-quality, energy-efficient lighting. International Institute for Energy Conservation IIEC has worked to bring the power of sustainable energy solutions to developing countries and economies in transition since 1984. These solutions include energy efficiency, renewable energy, and integrated transport planning. IIEC is working on the crosscutting activities related to ELI. LBL's Energy-Efficiency Web Site Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division develops technology that uses, converts and stores energy more efficiently and with less environmental impact, and studies the link between energy use and the environment. An important outcome of its work is the development of technologies and processes to mitigate the environmental effects of energy use. The EET Division was established in 1973 in response to concerns about the cost, availability, and environmental effects of energy. Over the years, the Division has responded to evolving national and international concerns. A major area of research is making residential and commercial buildings more energy-efficient, and maximizing the health and productivity of building occupants. Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Program The Energy Division is one of 15 research divisions at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Our mission is to provide innovative solutions to energy and related issues of national and global importance through interdisciplinary research, development, and deployment. World Energy Efficiency Association WEEA has been formed to: (1) serve as a clearinghouse for information on energy efficiency programs, technologies and measures, (2) disseminate this information worldwide, and (3) publicize inter national cooperation efforts in energy efficiency. U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program The mission of the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) is to reduce the cost of government by helping agencies reduce energy and water use, manage utility costs, and promote renewable energy. FEMP's three major work areas include project financing; technical guidance and assistance; and planning, reporting, and evaluation.
