The report will also include recommendations and strategies for cities to lower energy use, even for the top performing cities. The report is the first to rank cities on their energy efficiency efforts.


ACEEE invites you to participate in a teleconference to preview report findings and hear from mayors from some of the top performing cities. Mayors, ACEEE's lead report author, and executive director Steven Nadel will be available for questions.
