Eric Richman Joins Canadian Task Group on Lighting and Electrical Power
Eric Richman was invited to become an official member of the Canadian Task Group on Lighting and Electrical Power as they gear up to update Canada's Model National Energy Code for Buildings.
He is lending his expertise to help Canada make its buildings more energy efficient—thus saving energy, saving money and lowering their carbon footprint. Eric, a lighting expert for the DOE's Building Energy Codes Program (BECP), has informally supported the Canadian Task Group on Lighting and Electrical Power since July 2008.
In his work with BECP, Eric supports DOE's Commercial Codes Initiative by helping the primary commercial code-making body in the U.S., American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, increase the stringency and applicability of energy standards for new buildings. In its invitation to Eric, the Canadian group wrote "Your input to date has been invaluable to the Task Group and is greatly appreciated." More Info... (.doc) (announced 1/1/2009)
