2016 was a productive year for the alliance, which culminated in a busy fourth quarter. Highlights from the year include the addition of three new programs to NEEA’s portfolio, the development of a regional strategic plan for the consumer products market and the launch of two regional stock assessments for commercial and residential buildings. In addition, the alliance tested and investigated over a dozen emerging technology opportunities, ranging from Ultra High Definition TVs to connected thermostats. Many of these products show great promise for the years ahead.
