1997 Post-doctorate, Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryWith funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), identified and interviewed electric motor users and distributors in the Philippines as part of research on the local market to enhance the availability and adoption of efficient motors.
1992 to Graduate Student Research Assistant, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory1996 Primarily with USAID and some USDOE and USEPA support, conducted energy analyses and compiled data on climate change activities in developing countries. Elaborated a comprehensive residential electric energy efficiency program for Costa Rica that included Demand-Side-Management (DSM), minimum energy efficiency standards and energy labels for appliances, new credit and financial arrangements for households, and electric tariff's modifications. Costa Rica has since implemented a residential DSM program to introduce 350,000 compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Examined the economic and technical feasibility of "Ilumex", a 23 million dollar DSM project ($10 Million from the GEF) that introduced 2.7 million CFLs in Mexican homes. As part of Ilumex, managed a 1000 home lighting survey, did in-depth economic analyses, helped define early project parameters and implementation schemes, and co-authored numerous papers on Ilumex. The Ilumex project was then replicated throughout Mexico, selling more than 10 million more CFLs. Collected data on climate-change activities in 15 countries that was then posted on the internet.
1996 Consultant, International Institute for Energy ConservationWith CEC funding, interviewed Mexican industrial and commercial facilities to examine energy efficiency in-house practices and where they got their expertise, and co-authored a report on findings. Project focused on companies having operations in all three NAFTA countries to examine whether they shared energy efficiency information and the institutional setup for dealing with energy and efficiency.
1991 to Graduate Student Research Assistant, Energy & Resources Group, University of California, Berkeley. 1995 As part of the Ph.D. research, and with funding from the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, UC Mexus, and Tinker Foundation, examined the potential for saving electricity in Mexican homes and then, programs and policies to capture such savings opportunities. Became a participant-observer through extensive interactions with Mexicans to promote more efficient lighting technologies (e.g., over 10 residential CFL projects), institute minimum energy efficiency residential appliance standards and energy labels (particularly for refrigerators), and improve knowledge of energy end uses and electric savings potential in Mexican homes. Mediated between government policymakers and private entrepreneurs/industrialists to help projects and policies advance.
