LEADERSHIP WELCOME!

We need an APEC economy to lead each of the ESCI components outlined in this presentation. Help to compile key best practice examples Establish a template to record the examples

We need as many APEC economies as possible to participate in each of the ESCI components. Provide case studies and demonstration

projects Provide test beds and rating centers

Let us all work together to build the energy smart

communities of the future!
