Energy Efficiency Expo! - Sunday, March 29, 2015

After weeks of planning, the Energy Efficiency Expo has come and gone with resounding success. The program consisted of presentations on energy rebates from Tucson Electric Power and Tucson Water, as well as a keynote address by resource economist John "Skip" Laitner. To add a more personal element to the expo, there was also a panel of business owners and managers that had taken advantage of these rebates in the past. 

After the event, the general consensus was that the business panel was the highlight of the program. It gave a different perspective to energy efficient technology--one that wasn't all charts, graphs, and numbers. With humor and relatable advice, representatives from Eegee's, Our Mother of Sorrows, Allstate Insurance, Raytheon, and Buffalo exchange helped to make energy efficiency more accessible.

With an overall attendance of over 140 Southern Arizona businesses, this expo was one of the, if not THE, largest energy efficiency summit in Arizona history. It was so successful that we plan to do another one in the near future!
