Alternative Energy ProgramsIntroductionEnvironmental issues, U.S. dependence on foreign oil and depleting fossil fuel reserves: all ofthese issues represent an increasing awareness of the need for energy efficiency and alternativeand renewable energy education. Almost half (49%) of all energy produced in the U.S. isconsumed by the building sector. This is almost the same amount of energy consumed by bothtransportation (28%) and industry (23%) combined. [1] According to the U.S. EnergyInformation Administration, fossil fuels supply 76% of the total building sector energyconsumption. To address the building sector, architect Edward Mazria, in 2002, establishedArchitecture 2030, a non-profit, non-partisan, and independent organization. Architecture

Rapidly growingeconomies of developing nations such as China, Brazil and India have significantlyincreased use of energy in these and other nations. In addition, increasing climate changeconcerns as a result of increasing use of fossil energy has made the public more aware ofthe issues and problems associated with energy usage. Figure 1 from Department ofEnergy1 clearly shows the increasing trend of energy use and projected increases inenergy use. It is interesting to note from Figure 1 that use of renewable energy resourceshas also increased with an increase in overall energy usage and more and more renewableenergy sources are expected to

For a detailed descriptionof ME 413 and ME 680 refer to Bailey et al., 2004 [1]. After successfully completing AdvancedThermodynamics, students can choose to continue the study of classical thermodynamics byselecting a capstone design experience which incorporates advanced thermodynamics principlesas discussed in George et al, 2006 [2].

For 2009, a total of 41% of total energy consumption in the U.S. went toresidences and commercial sectors whereas only 29% went to transportation.1 “On an annual basis, buildings in the United States consume 39% of America's energy and 68% of its electricity. Furthermore, buildings emit 38% of the carbon dioxide (the primary greenhouse gas associated with climate change), 49% of the sulfur dioxide, and 25% of the nitrogen oxides found in the air.”2According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, “the total cooling energy use incommercial building HVAC systems, including the refrigerant

Since theuniversity does not have direct control over which fuel is being used to provide this neededelectricity and since Congress is currently debating “Cap and Trade” legislation, it behooves theuniversity to take a serious look at its energy conservation practices. Recommendations to the university administration include the following: (1) line-itemthe energy cost to students as a part of their bills, (2) increase the rate of replacing olderequipment with high-efficiency units, (3) develop a plan for becoming carbon-neutral by aspecified date in the future, and (4) sponsor a project which integrates environmental, business
