This month, three UCSB projects received awards from the Institute for Energy Efficiency (IEE). The IEE’s Research Seed and Software Impact Seed Programs provide critical introductory funding to launch new research projects that promote energy efficiency in areas ranging from computing and communications to infrastructure.
Greetings!
To begin this newsletter, it is my pleasure to welcome David Auston as the new Associate Director of the Center for Energy Efficient Materials (CEEM) at UC Santa Barbara. David brings a wealth of experience to the Center from his previous appointments, most notably as president of Case Western Reserve University and as the first president of the Kavli Foundation.
The Institute continues to build an exciting series of programs and events. In the past two months, we hosted an Executive Roundtable on Fast-tracking the Adoption of LED Lighting and an Energy Leadership Lecture by Amory Lovins, Cofounder, Chairman, and Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute.
