Climate Change: The Latest Science, Why It's Serious, and What We Can Do About It
The Pikes Peak Chapter of IEEE along with the Southeast Chapter of the Colorado Renewable Energy Society is very pleased to have Dr. Chuck Kutscher speak on climate change. Dr. Kutscher is uniquely qualified to not only discuss the science of climate change, but also to detail actions that we can take to make meaningful reductions in greenhouse emissions.
Dr. Charles (Chuck) Kutscher is Director of the Buildings and Thermal Systems Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. He has led research in solar heating and cooling, energy efficiency, solar industrial process heat, power plant cooling systems, and concentrating solar power. He is a Fellow of the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) and served as ASES Chair in 2000-2001. He was the Chair of two major conferences: the SOLAR 2006 national solar energy conference and the 2012 World Renewable Energy Forum. Dr. Kutscher is editor of the 200-page ASES report, Tackling Climate Change in the U.S., which details how energy efficiency and six renewable energy technologies can greatly reduce U.S carbon emissions by 2030. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder where he has taught courses in engineering and “Climate Change Solutions." He has a B.S. in physics from the State University of New York at Albany, an M.S. in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois, and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
