Please join us for the November Chapter meeting! Our meeting emphasis for the grassroots committees will be Research Promotion and Student Activities. We will also enjoy a discussion from the following speaker:
The Ethics and the Economics of Energy Conservation
Speaker: William Coad, PE (speaker bio)
This talk explores the economics of energy conservation and the failure of economic alternatives in the search for more energy conservative buildings and machines. Then, based upon this observation an alternative perspective leads to the conclusion that energy conservation is an ethic, and if this ethic is embraced by those who practice in the energy sciences, the inevitable result will be improved system performance, energy conservation and improved economics.
