In this edition of The Bridge, articles address energy efficiency opportunities in all sectors of the economy, from a case study of efficient energy use in New York City to measures taken in China to implement energy efficient technologies. Lester Lave's introductory article provides an overview of the potential of energy-efficient technologies in buildings, industry, and transportation. The three papers that follow describe examples from each of these economic sectors.
The Bridge presents thoughtful opinion and analysis on engineering research, education, and practice; science and technology policy; and the roles of engineering and technology in all aspects of society. The intent is to stimulate debate and dialogue within the NAE membership and the broader outside community of policymakers, educators, business leaders and other interested citizens.
To this end, The Bridge publishes original essays and sometimes reprints relevant articles published elsewhere. Authors are frequently, but not always, members of the NAE. The Bridge relies on an editorial advisory board and a network of ad hoc advisors to identify potential paper topics and authors and to review and select articles ultimately published in the magazine.
