Extreme Energy Efficiency & Integrative Design with Amory Lovins - In Person Workshop

Amory Lovins, cofounder of world renowned RMI, led a “train the trainers” exercise in spring 2023. This multi-day series, which is taught to faculty and practitioners around the world, engaged participants on scaling integrative design for radical energy efficiency, both in entrepreneurial pursuits emerging from the academy and in executive education that reaches broader audiences in the public. Each professor received between $500 to $1,000 on top of paid expenses to attend the 4-day workshop. Amory is a global practitioner of advanced energy efficiency, renewable integration, and innovative public policy and business strategy since 1970. 

This workshop was for HBCU professors ONLY and was hosted at Stanford University on June 6 – 9, 2023.
