Abstract
This chapter presents a number of energy efficiency technologies that currently make up energy efficiency technology inventory of Bonneville power Administration (BPA). In Sect. 10.2, you will be presented with regional efforts toward uncovering the next generation of energy efficiency technologies along with a technology management framework that is currently being used in the region. In Sect. 10.3, you will also be presented with a list of prior energy efficiency technologies that has come out as an output of aforesaid framework and the full list of technologies that are currently being assessed.
