Across the academic world, universities are joining together to address the critical related environmental challenges of growing energy demand and climate change. The University of Texas at Austin is at the forefront of trying to answer several important questions related to these issues.

Environmental Science Institute, with the support of the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), has joined with the Campus Environmental Center and other faculty, staff and students, to initiate this partnership and implement a series of energy conservation and sustainable energy projects around UT.
The projects reflect ESI’s mission of addressing environmental and sustainability issues using an approach that includes education, outreach and research.
