Alethea Cariddi speaks at Efficiency Maine Annual Symposium

Alethea Cariddi, UNE’s Sustainability Coordinator, spoke at the Efficiency Maine Annual Symposium on November 6, 2013.

The event featured two panel discussions, one from the customer perspective and one from the contractor perspective, as well as an address from Maine Energy Commissioner, Tom Welch.

Cariddi presented on a building automation control project for which UNE received funding in 2011 from Efficiency Maine.  The project was successful in reducing energy consumption, cost and resulting greenhouse gas emissions.

In attendance were approximately 100 contractors and business leaders, state legislators on the Energy Committee and board members of the Efficiency Maine Trust.
