Researchers at CIEE and UC Berkeley are developing low-power personal comfort devices that allow office workers to control their immediate thermal environment while helping buildings reduce HVAC energy use.

CIEE is looking to identify and recommend Technical Advisors to conduct research and/or provide expertise in support of CPUC Energy Division staff in the new Demand Response rulemaking proceeding activities.

CIEE is partnering with the Maryland Department of the Environment to provide the analysis necessary to implement the state’s Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) under the Climate Solutions Now Act.

After nearly two decades leading UC Berkeley’s Cool Climate Network, Dr. Chris Jones joins CIEE to expand people-centered environmental research that turns data into community engagement and climate action.

At the 2025 Behavior, Energy, and Climate Change Conference, participants explored how local action, behavioral science, accessible program design, and equity can shape a cleaner energy future.

Since receiving the 2025 Art Rosenfeld Award, CBE PhD student Aoyu Zou has continued developing standardized retrofit frameworks alongside new methods for measuring and verifying building performance.
