This online session reviews field findings from the Behavior, Energy, Action and Research Hub launched by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

The discussion highlights concrete methods used to boost public and organizational participation in energy-saving programs across the buildings, industrial, and transportation sectors.
