Director, Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency
Professor, Management Science and Engineering

someday, powerpoints with bullet points will be banned...but it clearly has not hit yet. he started off with a graph ilustrating the use of various types of energy. he then slapped up a four square based on energy use and economic efficiency. he then plotted items in each quadrant. some were noted ranging from do-able today and others needing legislation.
ie introduce smart buildings, congestion pricing, optimized building construction; LED lighting; plug-in hybrids; behavioural change.
it proved that once again, the corporate world is already far ahead of the academic world. when will this parallel world stop!
