The Wisconsin Chapter of the
Association of Energy Services Professionals
Invites you to Attend

There’s No Such Thing As A Free Ride(r)
This panel discussion will kick-off with the recap of two papers from the 2008 ACEEE Summer Study. The first paper is from Gay Cook, Summit Blue Consulting, and it gives an overview of the different evaluation methods being used for estimating free ridership. The second paper is from Jane Peters, Research Into Action. Jane explains why she thinks the current popular method for counting free riders will be the death of DSM programs within four years if we don’t make some changes.

Panel members (TBD) will add their thoughts to these ideas.
