But\u00a0there are other innovations that extend far beyond what most of us conceptualize as energy.<\/p>\n<p>Across the country, many universities and colleges are investing in energy efficiency and renewable energy and adopting a conservation mindset that has helped these\u00a0institutions cut energy usage and expenditures, and direct the money saved towards education and other core initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laccd.edu\/\">The Los Angeles Community College District<\/a>\u00a0(LACCD) is the largest community college system in the country, serving more than 250,000 students on more than 10 sites around the region. \u00a0The\u00a0system is in the midst of a $6.2 billion bond project that will add 80 state of the art buildings on nine campuses. \u00a0And rather than simply sticking new buildings in empty lots, planners are\u00a0reimagining how these facilities will operate and work together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/e7studio.net\/\">e7 Studios<\/a>\u00a0is a new architectural organization that is leading the process. \u00a0And while the e7 team has energy on its mind, its approach to both data analysis and visualization reaches far beyond\u00a0standard energy efficiency measures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t a simple renovation,&#8221; said architect and e7 director Michael Rendler. \u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s a re-imagining of how these campuses function and how their pieces interact. \u00a0And we believe that to do\u00a0that correctly, you have to see what you&#8217;re working with. \u00a0Being able to visually move through a design allows us to find new opportunities for energy efficiency and understand how our design\u00a0choices impact usability and environmental performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A cornerstone of e7&#8217;s approach is a massive database that allows designers to build 3D walk-though visualizations of their designs.\u00a0 It allows for a whole systems design approach to building management, which will \u2013 in turn \u2013 help LACCD achieve their \u201ccarbon neutrality\u201d sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Large facilities and campuses really need to be viewed as interconnected organisms, and each part and aspect of a facility generates data that can be captured and visualized,&#8221; Rendler said.\u00a0\u00a0e7 is working to develop a single, standardized data model to which buildings, campuses and urban areas around the country can be applied. \u00a0&#8220;Eventually, designers in any part of the world will\u00a0be able to tap into this information and see their designs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The wealth of standardized and shared data, Rendler says, will allow better design and performance for a lower cost, as well as more environmental benefits.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its new approach to design, e7 Studio is focused on bringing new approaches to education. \u00a0The studio is not only leading the design process, but it is also involving LACCD students in\u00a0the process. \u00a0Its\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.laccd.edu\/student_information\/e7_internships\/\">internship program<\/a>\u00a0provides front row seats to one of the world\u2019s largest education design and construction projects.<\/p>\n<p>This approach not only serves as a model for urban and campus redevelopment, it trains a generation of experts who can apply their skills to\u00a0projects around the world.\u00a0LACCD hosted Sukreet Singh, an EDF Climate Corps fellow this past summer from the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout 2012,\u00a0EDF&#8217;s Energy Innovation Series\u00a0will highlight around 20 innovations across a broad range of energy categories, including smart grid and renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency financing, and progressive utilities, to name a few.
