The i4Energy Seminar Series Fall 2012 Schedule is below. It includes a new start time: 1:00 pm. Please note that the Spring 2013 semester will be moving back to 12:00 pm.
The CITRIS-LBNL-CIEE i4Energy Center focuses on the development of information technology systems that facilitate significant energy and cost savings.
Free and open to the public, the i4Energy Speaker Series is a weekly roundtable of lectures and discussions that highlight these research issues. All talks take place at 1:00 pm on Fridays in 310 Sutardja Dai Hall, Banatao Auditorium on the UC Berkeley campus unless otherwise indicated. Cookies and fruit are provided at the talks
