MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2011 INCLUDED: -COMPLETION OF THE REGIONAL EM&V FORUM EVALUATION, WHICH CONCLUDED THAT THE FORUM SHOULD CONTINUE, AND DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL OF THE FORUM'S NEXT THREE-YEAR PLAN FOR 2012-2014-A SUCCESSFUL EM&V FORUM 2011 ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETING, HELD ON OCTOBER 12, 2011, IN ALBANY, NEW YORK, DRAWING MORE THAN 100 PARTICIPANTS -LAUNCH OF THE FORUM'S REGIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY DATABASE (REED), AND COMPLETION OF TWO PROTOCOL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND SEVERAL RESEARCH & EVALUATION PROJECTS 897973 1091295 DESIGNLIGHTS CONSORTIUM (DLC)- QUALIFIED PRODUCT LIST (QPL) NEEP'S DLC, A COLLABORATION OF UTILITY COMPANIES AND REGIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY ORGANIZATIONS, IS COMMITTED TO RAISING AWARENESS OF THE BENEFITS OF EFFICIENT LIGHTING IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. ITS MISSION IS TO HELP BUILDERS, ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS, AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS TO IMPLEMENT IMPROVED DESIGN PRACTICES IN ALL AREAS OF THE COMMERCIAL LIGHTING MARKET. ITS GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT HIGH-QUALITY, ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHTING DESIGN BECOMES COMMONPLACE IN ALL LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS. THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF THE DLC PROJECT IN 2011 CAN BE SUMMED UP IN A SINGLE WORD: GROWTH. THE PROJECT GREW IN JUST ABOUT EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE, FROM THE SIZE OF THE QPL AND THE NUMBER OF MANUFACTURERS REPRESENTED ON THE LIST, TO THE NUMBER OF MEMBER UTILITY PROGRAMS AND STATES/PROVINCES CONFIDENTLY INCENTING COMMERCIAL-GRADE SSL LUMINARIES, TO THE NUMBER OF PRODUCT APPLICATION AREAS COVERED BY THE DLC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS. 564184 BUILDINGSREDUCE WASTEFUL ENERGY USE IN COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, AND MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES THROUGH PUBLIC POLICIES, INCENTIVE PROGRAMS, AND BUILDING ENERGY CODES AND RATING. BUILDINGS AND HOMES CONSUME FORTY PERCENT OF TOTAL ENERGY USE. IN A REGION WITH A DENSELY BUILT ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY OLD BUILDINGS, THE HIGHEST ENERGY COSTS IN THE COUNTRY, AND THE CHALLENGE TO MEET AGGRESSIVE CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE POLICY GOALS - IMPROVING HOME AND BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY OFFERS A BIG PAYBACK FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT WHILE INCREASING ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. THESE BENEFITS ARE BROAD - ACCRUING TO RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, MUNICIPALITIES, STATES, AND THE REGION AS A WHOLE - MAKING EFFICIENCY ESSENTIAL TO ALL CONSUMERS, BUSINESSES, AND THE POLICYMAKERS WHO REPRESENT THEM. 384537 70669 KNOWLEDGEPROMOTE KNOWLEDGE AND THE USE OF BEST PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO INCREASE AND ACCELERATE ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH LONG-TERM RESULTS. AT A TIME OF UNPRECEDENTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY FUNDING, IT IS CRITICAL THAT PROGRAMS AND POLICIES ACHIEVE LONG-TERM RESULTS. THIS REQUIRES SUSTAINED PUBLIC POLICY SUPPORT, EXPANDED FINANCIAL RESOURCES, THE FULL INTEGRATION OF EFFICIENCY INTO LOCAL, STATE AND REGIONAL ENERGY PLANNING, AN ENDURING EFFICIENCY INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON LEADING KNOWLEDGE AND BEST PRACTICES AT THE COMMUNITY, STATE AND REGIONAL LEVELS, AND CONSISTENT STANDARD CONVENTIONS ACROSS THE REGION TO MEASURE, EVALUATE AND REPORT ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPACTS. THE REGIONAL EVALUATION, MEASUREMENT & VERIFICATION FORUM IS NEEP'S MAJOR PROJECT UNDER THIS STRATEGY. 312957 PRODUCTSACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF HIGH-EFFICIENCY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL LIGHTING AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS THROUGH EDUCATION, INCENTIVE PROGRAMS AND PUBLIC POLICIES. APPLIANCES, LIGHTING AND CONSUMER/BUSINESS ELECTRONICS ARE UBIQUITOUS AND LARGELY ENERGY INEFFICIENT WITH MILLIONS SOLD IN THE REGION EACH YEAR. BECAUSE THEIR USE IS A MAJOR DRIVER OF ELECTRICITY GROWTH AND THE ASSOCIATED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS OFFER TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL TO SAVE MONEY WHILE REDUCING HARMFUL AIR POLLUTANTS. REGIONAL MARKET STRATEGIES AND RELATED PUBLIC POLICIES ARE ESSENTIAL TO ENGAGE AND LEVERAGE MARKET PLACE MUSCLE TO KEEP THE REGION A NATIONAL LEADER IN THE SALE OF HIGH EFFICIENCY, MARKET READY PRODUCTS, SETTING THE STAGE FOR NATIONAL MARKET TRANSFORMATION. THE DESIGNLIGHTS CONSORTIUM QUALIFIED PRODUCT LIST IS NEEP'S MAJOR PROJECT UNDER THIS STRATEGY. 192632 40605 VISIBILITYPOSITION AND DEFINE EFFICIENCY AS A CRITICAL AND TANGIBLE ENERGY RESOURCE, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT AND IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY, THE REGION, AND THE PLANET. UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL POWER GENERATION, OR EVEN RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS THE ENERGY RESOURCE WE DON'T SEE. FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY TO BE RECOGNIZED AND VALIDATED AS A FIRST-ORDER RESOURCE, IT MUST BE VISIBLY POWERFUL TO THE MARKET AS A TOOL FOR COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE, STRENGTHENING THE ECONOMY AND IMPROVING OUR SOCIETY. VISIBILITY IS THE CATALYST FOR ALL OUR WORK SO THAT POLICYMAKERS AND THE PUBLIC SUPPORT ENERGY EFFICIENCY POLICIES AND PROGRAMS BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE FULL VALUE, BENEFITS AND ACCESSIBILITY OF EFFICIENCY AS A POWERFUL ENERGY, CLIMATE AND ECONOMIC SOLUTION. NEEP LAUNCHED A NEW BLOG, ENERGYEFFICIENCYMATTERS.ORG DURING 2011 FOR THIS PURPOSE. ANOTHER MAJOR PROJECT UNDER THIS STRATEGY WAS THE ANNUAL SUMMIT. NEEP'S ANNUAL REGIONAL SUMMIT BRINGS THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO MAKE THE BENEFITS AND PROGRESS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AS A RESOURCE REAL AND VISIBLE TO POLICYMAKERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS ACROSS THE REGION, AND CELEBRATES THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF BUSINESS LEADERS THAT ARE MODELS FOR INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. 890126 111274 3723103 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 27 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X X SUSAN COAKLEY 7818609177 91 HARTWELL AVENUE LEXINGTON MA 02421 SUSAN COAKLEY 40.00 X X 131205 0 14824 PENNI MCLEAN-CONNER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RON ARAUJO 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN ZAWESKI 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD SEDANO 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN COWELL 2.00 X 0 0 0 FRANK MURRAY 2.00 X 0 0 0 LUIS MARTINEZ 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE NADEL 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL SOSLAND 2.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD WHITE JR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT JOHNSTONE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT M MCTIGHE 40.00 X 59546 0 1565 JIM GODKINS 40.00 X 80612 0 6623 JIM O'REILLY 40.00 X 125869 0 6616 JULIE MICHALS 40.00 X 125831 0 6518 ELIZABETH TITUS 40.00 X 103271 0 8497 626334 0 44643 4 0 0 0 D&R INTERNATIONAL 1300 SPRING STREET SILVER SPRINGS MD 20910 ENERGY EFFICIENCY QUALIFICATION TESTING 645685 NAVIGANT CONSULTING INC 4511 PAYSPHERE CIRCLE CHICAGO IL 60674 ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONSULTING 337923 KEMA 5202 PAYSPHERE CIRCLE CHICAGO IL 60674 ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONSULTING 311352 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONE ASHBURTON PLACE BOSTON MA 02108 ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONSULTING 137000 ERS 120 WATER STREET ANDOVER MA 01845 ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONSULTING 105000 5 890221 1740656 2630877 EM&V FORUM 900099 1465537 1465537 DLC QUALIFIED PRODUCT 900099 1084270 1084270 WORKFORCE 900099 60099 60099 SUMMIT REGISTRATION 900099 40605 40605 2650511 3752 3752 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 24795 24795 24795 5309935 2675306 0 3752 294376 79755 171564 43057 1453900 1158867 203380 91653 60326 46962 9893 3471 121775 91275 22667 7833 124484 88402 26707 9375 6417 1513 4904 38205 38205 2149160 2069421 69742 9997 62937 12646 50291 174827 174827 97070 86663 6629 3778 91855 63275 28062 518 28920 28920 15632 15632 MISCELLANEOUS 28075 19687 8388 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 16799 16799 TRAINING 7610 4637 2893 80 4772368 3723103 879503 169762 302002 44754 214338 1820986 1106465 447367 41801 22063 352589 181590 194546 170999 40000 40000 1899152 2546169 489628 472124 364623 491577 854251 963701 X 562066 752342 482835 830126 1044901 1582468 1899152 2546169 537567 0 X X 0 1 1 X 0 X 2168715 2631833 3294533 4104762 2630877 14830720 2168715 2631833 3294533 4104762 2630877 14830720 2058622 12772098 3614 9007 12205 2058 3752 30636 11910 14960 24795 51665 14913021 3882401 0.85640 0.89370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 192517 153577 38940 160072 28013 132059 170999 5309935 4772368 537567 537567 5309935 0 5309935 0 5309935 4772368 0 4772368 0 4772368 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X: NEEP FOLLOWS THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES STANDARD WHICH REQUIRES NEEP TO REPORT UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, RELATED INTEREST AND PENALTIES, AND TO ADJUST ITS UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS AND ACCRUED INTEREST AND PENALTIES ACCORDINGLY.
