Berkeley Lab has recently expanded its collaboration with the Alliance to Save Energy to include the Industrial Partnership activities. Vestal Tutterow, who spent seven years with Berkeley Lab working with Industry Partnerships, with a particular focus on pumping systems, is now at the Alliance and continuing this work. The Alliance also continues to provide support to the US DOE BestPractices Steam activities.

Through this collaboration, Berkeley Lab and the Alliance will explore new ways to enrich Industrial Partnerships and other existing programs at US DOE, Berkeley Lab, and the Alliance. For example, providing adequate and safe supplies of water to a growing global population is becoming increasingly difficult and is energy intensive. Watergy is an Alliance water and energy efficiency program (funded by the US Agency for International Development), created to address this situation. The Lab and the Alliance are seeking ways to link this activity with the Lab’s ongoing partnership with the pumping industry as well as with Berkeley Lab’s Water-Energy Technology Team (WETT), which includes a broad range of expertise in water use and re-use, water resources, water quality, and other areas.
