Project Description:
This project aims to have students think more efficiently and sustainably about energy management within Lehigh’s facilities and research spaces. Students will explore various energy management options including use of renewable energy and energy storage. Students will explore and test out various options that could be implemented in future campus construction and research projects. Specific areas of interest include latent heat storage using phase change materials, and solar heat collection using parabolic trough collectors. All majors are welcome.
