Knauf Insulation to support Great Energy Efficiency Day in Nation’s Capitol

Knauf Insulation has committed to sponsoring the 2010 Great Energy Efficiency Day hosted by the Alliance to Save Energy taking place in Washington D.C. on March 10. The annual event, launched in 2004, draws more than 400 stakeholders from the business, industry, government, academic, media and public interest sectors to Capitol Hill.  The event has become an important forum to discuss the need for, and the benefits of, energy efficiency. 

The day will feature recognized speakers from the United States Senate and House of Representatives, the U.S. Department of Energy, the American Public Transportation Association, the North American Insulation Manufacturer’s Association, and other key energy voices from a diverse group of states and industries. Designed to garner in-depth discussion on the funding, technologies and policy that will be required in order for the U.S. to realize energy efficiency’s full potential—and to provide insight from Capitol Hill—this year’s discussions will center on federal, state and local stimulus funding, smart communities, and building energy-efficient technology for today and tomorrow.
