a message from BPA's Tyler Dillavou

Dear Advisor,

As a follow-up to BPA’s Smart Thermostat FlashTAG, here are a list of vendors that we expect will be in attendance at the Efficiency Exchange conference in Portland on May 15-17. You may wish to reach out to them for informational meetings. Additionally, BPA and NEEA will be hosting a panel session on Wednesday, called “Energy Efficiency and the Smart Home,” which will feature a discussion among some of these companies.

 BPA is currently working with NEEA to coordinate efforts of utilities and research partners toward concept validation and verification of energy efficiency for smart thermostats. For more information or to participate, please contact Tyler Dillavou @ tjdillavou@bpa.gov.
