Agenda
! What is the current role of behavior programs in energy efficiency portfolios?
! How can behavior programs be better utilized?
! How can we garner longer-term savings from behavior programs?
! How can we draw deeper savings out of portfolios using behavior programs?
![Page 6: Policy and Planning Considerations for Incorporating Behavior … · 2020. 6. 2. · Allison Carlson, Project Advisor Eileen Hannigan, Senior ... Hoffman, Elizabeth Stuart, Steven](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071607/6144930db5d1170afb43f66d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A change in emphasis
From “will it work?”
to
“How can we make it work for us?”
