CSP '12 student Patrick DiCiaccio helped launch program "Better Buildings Case Competition" approved by Energy Secretary Chu




Secretary Chu just formally announced the Better Buildings Case Competition at the end of his lecture to MIT and Harvard students in Boston, a program that Patrick DiCiaccio, of CSP '12 designed and proposed to the Secretary. Patrick opened the call and introduced Dr. Chu. Not only did he provide talking points for Dr. Chu's speech, the DOE competition website for the program he is spearheading was officially launched and resources were emailed off to every energy club in America.
 
Check out the website Better Buildings Case Competition.

Patrick is a Climate Science and Policy student at Bard Center for Environmental Policy and worked on our National Climate Seminar and C2C initiatives during his first year. What great preparation! Patrick is now working for U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy as he finishes his masters degree. This May, he will be one of eight students to graduate from the first CSP class at Bard CEP. Learn more about our masters degrees at www.bard.edu/cep/academic_programs.
