The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy named Kelly Kissock, chair of the University of Dayton mechanical and aerospace engineering and clean and renewable energy programs, a “champion of energy efficiency.”
The designation goes to leaders in the energy-efficiency field who have demonstrated excellence in program implementation, leadership, research and energy policy.
Past winners include Walmart and the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation.
