Abstract Climate change poses significant risks to large-scale infrastructure systems and brings considerable uncertainties that challenge historical planning approaches. Here we focus on how climate awareness might be better incorporated into decision-making in the electric power sector. To do so, consider lessons from decision science literature where researchers have specifically focused make decisions under uncertainty. We perform a three-part review: of best practices for uncertainty,...
Author(s): Morabito, Molly; Wang, liyang; Payne, Christopher; Fernandes, Luis | Abstract: There are many national policies aimed at driving an increase in energy efficiency (EE) implementation. But how effective they? Over the past 20 years, U.S. government has established five legal authorities mandating federal agencies to prioritize energy-efficient products when purchasing. As largest single buyer of energy-consuming products, purchasing across sector would result huge savings and...

This is a large missed opportunity: full compliance could save the U.S. government roughly $500 million in energy cost annually. In 2016, Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) began new set program activities to increase with...
