Next week, besides Lag B’Omer, a local non-profit, the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), is holding its national conference next week starting on Sunday, May 13th.  As part of the World Renewable Energy Forum, or WREF 2012, ASES will be presenting a Passive Pioneer Award to Edna Shaviv of Israel.  We hope to have more on this story as it unfolds next week.
