Alliance President Kateri Callahan left EE Global delegates with this thought: according to numbers and early feedback, they had attended what was the most successful event in the EE Global series to date – but more importantly, they had become “agents for change in energy efficiency.”

Energy Efficiency Must Be at the Center of International Climate Change Approaches in 2010
By Jane Teeling at Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Lisa Jacobson, President, Business Council for Sustainable Energy
Having just returned from a meeting today with Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change Jonathan Pershing at the U.S. State Department focused on U.S. expectations for the climate change negotiations in 2010, I wanted to reflect on the central role that energy efficiency and other existing clean energy technologies must play as we develop and implement a post-2010 international climate change agreement.
Industry Leaders: Sumir Karayi on Energy Efficiency in the IT Industry
By Jane Teeling at Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
Name: Sumir Karayi, Speaker, Executive Dialogue Session 4C: Consumers & End-Use
Sector: Energy-Efficient IT
Company: 1E
Position: CEO
Years with the company: since the beginning – I founded the company some 13 years ago.
Lives in London, UK, but I spend approximately two weeks of every month in New York!
First Job in the energy efficiency IT sector: I’ve always been passionate about the environment, especially when it comes to wasted energy and resources in IT – that’s my driving force and reason for setting up 1E and enabling the company to become not only one of the fastest-growing fastest growing and successful private technology companies but also the market leaders in PC power management.
Favorite energy efficiency home improvement: My ethos and the company’s ethos is to be energy-efficient and save money as a result. In our family home, energy efficiency is a lifestyle; you’ll find energy-efficient lighting and appliances, insulation, glazing and recycling bins for paper, plastic, metal and general food waste – of these, it’s hard to chose a favorite!
When not at the office, likes to ski, workout, or relax with a nice glass of wine.
Sumir Karayi of 1E – a software and services company that helps its customers reduce their IT costs and environmental footprints with its leading-edge automation solutions – talks about energy efficiency’s unique role in the IT industry, and the forward motion of investments and innovation in this space.
Applying Available Technologies is First Step in Energy Efficiency

Robert Wilkins, President, Danfoss North America, Moderator, EE Global Executive Dialogue Session 3A: Buildings
Expectations for a comprehensive climate and energy bill are diminishing as we head into an election year, and with the Democrats no longer holding a 60% Senate majority. However, the importance of energy efficiency remains at the forefront in many sectors due to unstable and rising energy prices and energy security. We will tackle emerging energy – and efficiency – issues at the Energy Efficiency Global Forum & Exposition.
Policy development is one critical lever in our path toward efficiency. For example, with proper incentives or policy, in the HVAC industry, millions of old, inefficient air-conditioning and heating systems installed in our homes could be replaced with today’s higher efficient systems that reduce energy consumption by as much as 30%.
From Copenhagen to DC – EE is Key!

Kateri Callahan, President, Alliance to Save Energy
For many of us, 2009 ended on an ambiguous note. At home, much of the positive momentum for climate legislation at the start of President Obama’s administration buckled under the weight of contentious debates around health care and unemployment.
