Elizabeth Brooke Stein

Work

I am an Attorney in Environmental Defense Fund’s (EDF) Energy Program, focusing on energy efficiency in large commercial buildings and the transition to a clean, low-carbon electric system.

EDF is a leading environmental nonprofit organization that focuses on strong science, uncommon partnerships and market-based approaches. I work with public and private parties to address barriers to creating a durable market for energy efficiency through innovations financing, such as On-Bill Repayment (OBR) and EDF’s Investor Confidence Project, and on efficiency energy efforts for buildings in New York City, including the City’s adoption and implementation of the Greater, Greener Buildings laws, energy-aligned leasing and the Clean Heat Program.

I have also engaged in state, regional and federal proceedings to support technologies and practices that improve the flexibility and performance of the electric system. I have an A.B. from Harvard University and a J.D. from New York University.

Background

AB Harvard (1991), JD New York University (2003)
