Strategic Energy Management Platform | CEE—Consortium for Energy Efficiency

The CEE Strategic Energy Management (SEM) Initiative provides a consistent framework to analyze the experiences of over 1000 C&I customers participating in member SEM programs. At CEE, member program administrators partner with SEM practitioners, share lessons learned, and identify market strategies for energy management that can be applied at scale.

To extend the merits of SEM to greater numbers of commercial and industrial customers, CEE is leveraging long-standing relationships with the HVAC, lighting, motors, and other industries to specify energy performance and connected functionalities that support customer and grid-side benefits.
