The IAC Student Forum website provides a convenient way for all IAC program participants at the 26 schools across the U.S. to communicate and share ideas with each other. It is also a place where alumni of the IAC program can offer information and guidance to current students.

The ideas and information exchanged here will help students to perform better assessments, network and find jobs in industry. Sources such as industry experts, current and former program participants, and DOE Headquarters will provide the latest in energy saving tips and techniques.

In addition, students will be able to browse career opportunities in the energy efficiency industry posted by alumni and others familiar with the success of the IAC program.

Information will be updated continuously, so log-in often. Since this is a tool for all IAC students to use, it can only be improved through your feedback. Please take a moment to browse and comment on how you think the site can be more helpful to your IAC program experience.
