In the first part of this presentation, an energy expert talks about the current energy use of appliances - anything that plugs in to a home or office. This talk expands the traditional definition of the appliance as well as outlines the efficiencies that are now achievable and future goals for even greater energy savings. In the second segment, Art Rosenfeld, the “Father of Energy Efficiency” examines the existence of heat islands in cities and how something as simple as cool roof programs may ameliorate a huge part of this problem.
