Description 
Innovation in public policy, technology, and business models can enable massive-scale improvements in energy efficiency, which is widely held as necessary to help balance energy supply and demand, as well as to prevent unmanageable, irreversible climate change. Applying analytic methods and design tools, students assess strategies of how energy efficiency can be enabled, with particular focus on opportunities in US homes and buildings created by utility funding models, carbon cap-and-trade, energy saving building codes, appliance standards, and green community practices. Limited to 25.
