“Ground-up” Approach In seeking projects for this course, emphasis has been placed on finding those that are notyet far along in their development. Very often, engineering of the energy systems for theseprojects has occurred late in the project, when many decisions affecting energy use and wastestreams have already been made.[1] Thus the energy engineer is constrained, and standard off-the-shelf technology is often the result. This does not provide a good experience for the students,who would like to explore possibilities unencumbered by prior decisions. The best choice for a potential project is an open field, or a vacant building, a site thatprovides a blank slate upon which energy systems can be applied. These systems can then
