Workshop History
The Global Energy Managers Workshop was first held in 2019 at UC Davis. In 2020 and 2021, GEM was held virtually with hundreds of attendees from around the world. The goal of GEM is to bring together facility managers, students, and faculty from around the world to share and learn about energy-saving, cost management, and carbon reduction strategies. The event is hosted by UC Davis Facilities, the Energy and Efficiency Institute, and the Sustainable Campus, Sustainable Cities Initiative. Past agendas and presentations can be found here.
