Topic: Customer Energy Efficiency Culture: Why it is Important
Speaker: Jason Garner PE, North American Operations Manager—Crowley Carbon
Jason Garner, PE is a Mechanical Engineer and North American Operations Manager, and Global Subject Matter Expert on Boilers and
Cogeneration, for Cool Planet Clarity and Founder, President, and Principal Engineer of Clear Process Engineering. He is responsible for
day-to-day operations and engineering services for all energy efficiency engagements in North America; which include the following:
compressed air system optimization and improvements, lighting improvements, steam distribution system improvements, cogeneration
installations, boiler optimizations and improvements, and even core process optimizations and improvements.
Many of the most meaningful energy efficiency projects will require revised ways of operating equipment in a facility. Without the
proper buy-in from all stakeholders, the energy efficiency initiatives will evaporate after the energy engineers leave the site, and then
the projects are deemed to be failures. This presentation will provide overviews of positive and negative examples and high level
reasons these are classified as such. It will conclude with a win-win accountability tool to drive the culture required for year-over-year
energy savings.

Topic: Energy as a Service
Speaker: Quintin Barnes, VP and Co-founder of Allumia
Quintin is the VP and Co-founder of Allumia. Formerly, Quintin managed Climate Policy for the Washington Business Alliance. He lived in
Argentina for four years, where he was the Director of Latin America, and eventually also Europe, for Coastal Environmental Systems,
Inc, a weather station hardware and software integrator. His academic work has focused on emerging renewable energy markets and
carbon pricing policy.
We’ll explore Efficiency-as-a-Service, covering: What is it? How does it work? What does it look like from a customer perspective?
Implementer? With special focus on metered EaaS. We’ll look at what the term EaaS has meant in different contexts as the
formerly ’emerging’ funding and efficiency option has entered the mainstream. And we’ll dive into the data and metering from Allumia’s
history implementing EaaS projects for Lighting and HVAC/R, where each project gets a dedicated M&V system — the lynchpin of their
service model.
