Energy Efficiency is one of the five strategic themes of the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment (PSIEE), which has supported a Sustainable Housing Initiative (SHI) that intends to leverage faculty and student expertise on residential building planning, design, and construction. The goal of this initiative is ambitious – to initiate a process that will radically transform the residential building sector, with partners that will scale-up innovation to a regional and eventually national or international scale. There is significant interest and expertise related to these ideals at Penn State notably within the Stuckeman School.
The vision for the Sustainable Housing Initiative is to establish an ongoing multidisciplinary collaboration that would engage faculty, graduate students and undergraduates in the design, development and deployment of high-performance, affordable housing to address growing markets and transforming demographics.
