While component efficiencies increased dramatically, the size of our homes and the number of energy using stuff has increased even faster. Looking forward, the focus for energy efficiency in buildings will need to shift to systems rather than components. This shift will involve transformations in how we build, and where and how we live. This shift does not mean that we can ignore component efficiency, because energy using appliances are proliferating, but that we need to take a more holistic approach to our communities.<br><br>Neal Elliott is the Associate Director for Research of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), coordinating ACEEE's overall research efforts.

Malone, Joshua Introne <br></i>Thu Jan 13, 02-05:00pm, NE25-746<br><span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">The Climate CoLab is a web forum where people for all over the world can work together to create proposals for what we should do about climate change. It is a project of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence. The system combines web-based climate and economic modeling, structured online conversation, and new kinds of group decision making tools. <br><br>In this workshop, we invite students to learn about the Climate CoLab and share their ideas about how the project might evolve in the future. The workshop will start with a presentation on the Climate CoLab by Sloan Professor Thomas W. Malone. We then will invite students to undertake a series of tasks using the system. The final part of the session will be a discussion of possible future directions for the project, where we will welcome student input. <br><br>The workshop will be of value to students with an interest in sustainability, climate change, and emerging energy technologies. It will also be useful to students who would like to learn about next generation Web 2.0 technologies. <br><br>Attendees should bring a laptop so they can use the Climate CoLab during the session. <br></span><b>Web</b>: <a href="http://climatecolab.org/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://climatecolab.org</a> <br><b>Contact</b>: Robert Laubacher, NE25-753, x3-0526, <a href="mailto:rjl@mit.edu" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">rjl@mit.edu</a> <br><b>Sponsored by</b>: Sloan School of Management<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span class="apple-style-span"><b>21) IT-Enabled Electricity Services: The Missing Piece of the Environmental Puzzle</b> </span><br><span class="apple-style-span"><i>Prof. Marija Ilic Visiting Professor, MIT Engineering Systems Division</i></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br><span class="apple-style-span">Wed Jan 19, 12-01:30pm, E51-145 (Brown bag lunch; refreshments)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">In this talk we describe the role electric power grid and its <br>Information Communications Technologies (ICT) play in enabling <br>sustainable electricity services.
