Thank You for Making This Year's
Forum a Huge Success!
Johnson Controls and the U.S. Energy Association proudly co-sponsored the 19th Annual Energy Efficiency Forum at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., June 11. This nonpartisan event helps raise awareness of the technical, economic and political solutions available to improve energy efficiency. More than 300 people attended, including executives and non-governmental organizations involved with managing energy policies.
This year’s theme, "What’s Happening Now and What’s Next," explored how a new presidential administration can build on public and private sector initiatives to develop large-scale energy efficiency programs that will have significant economic and environmental impact.
