Celebrating Women in Solar Series: Elaine Hebert, Retired Energy Efficiency and Green and Sustainability Expert, California Energy Commission

Veronica N | WomenMarch 3, 2017313

All month long, Haha Smart is celebrating all women making contributions to the industry.

Our first feature proudly highlights Elaine Hebert, a retired energy efficiency and green and sustainability expert from the California Energy Commission. Since 1983, she has been involved with a chapter or subchapter of ASES on either the East Coast or the West Coast; she served as President of the Urban Solar Energy Association in Boston and years later as President of the Northern California Solar Energy Association in Berkeley, CA. She is an ASES Fellow and a recipient of ASES’s Rebecca Vories Award.

She is an avid hiker and bicyclist; she rode in the California Climate Ride 2014 – 250 miles in 4 days – to raise money for organizations working on climate issues. In her spare time, she renovates a 1910 Victorian house to be as “green” as possible.

She obtained a BS in Environmental and Resource Science from the University of California at Davis.
