For nearly two decades, the Alliance to Save Energy’s Watergy program has been helping communities in developing countries to overcome water shortages and related unsanitary conditions that affect families, neighborhoods, businesses and schools.   Now is your chance to help us.

One year after getting a slew of energy efficiency upgrades, the U.S. embassy in Belgium has reaped impressive savings and has spurred energy-efficient renovations in nearly a dozen U.S. embassies across Europe.

EE Global 2012 proved to be yet another "creme de la creme" of energy efficiency conferences. From March 27 to 29, leaders and innovators from all over the world gathered in Orlando to build networks and discuss ideas for advancing energy efficiency worldwide. A major theme throughout the conference was using energy efficiency as an "all of the above" solution to improving our environment and economy.

On the second day of EE Global 2012 in Orlando, Fla., a panel of experts from the public and private sectors and several international organizations discussed energy efficiency’s role as the First Solution for Sustainable Energy for All. Keynote speaker Dr. Kandeh Yumkella, Director-General of the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), set the tone of discussion.

The Alliance to Save Energy’s EE Global Forum began on March 27, 2012, and Alliance President Kateri Callahan brought the fifth installment of the event to order with a discussion on the core concept that governments and businesses alike are focused on their economic “bottom lines,” as well as better ways to build profits, create jobs and enhance sustainability.
