Welcome to the Sustainable Energy and Environments (SEE) Laboratory at the University of Vermont!
The SEE Lab works at the intersection of built and natural environments to design and deploy
innovative energy system technologies that are sustainable, resilient, and equitable.
To do this, we adopt computational modeling and simulation and system-level design methods to address
complex energy system challenges for society.
Our expertise lies in thermo-fluid energy systems for buildings and communities, including HVAC systems
and controls, and bio-inspired design at the ecosystem level.
We frequently work with real communities to improve their system design and operation.
Some past applications of our research include:
campus district heating and cooling systems;
urban gardens of rapidly developing cities;
and culturally-centric housing with Native American communities.
