Call for Case Studies!
The Center for Energy Efficiency has begun a project that involves collecting and researching case studies of energy
efficiency projects. The case studies we are looking for can focus on the technical side, the strategic angle, financial issues,
or the implementation of projects that demonstrate effective means of producing results. The information we are seeking
can deal with any aspect of energy efficiency from basic issues of lighting and heating controls to less tangible questions
dealing with customer relations or the promotion of energy efficiency.
or any other training to be held at MTSU, please contact the CEE. If the audience is there for a training opportunity, the
CEE will be glad to provide the means.
According to the many who have joined the previous training seminars, it was well worth the effort to gain knowledge,
share experiences, network a little, and earn the certifications. Be sure and contact us with any requests.
Spreading the Energy Word…
*At the Rebuild America National Forum scheduled for August 9 - 11, 1999 in Las Vegas, Joe Whitefield, director of the
CEE, will be making a presentation focusing on the MTSU Energy Action Plan and how it
relates in general to the goals, key elements, and approval processes of the State of Tennessee Action Plan. Also attending are David Gray, director
MTSU Facilities Services, Kathy Mathis, co-director of the CEE, and Keith King, Tennessee Board of Regents.
*A CEM training is scheduled on campus August 9 - 13, 1999. Registration is still open for this comprehensive program
culminating with the exam on the last day. Contact the CEE for more information.
*Sponsors are being sought to help fund small projects for senior seminars in Engineering Technology and Industrial
Studies or for similar academic related projects. Contact Dr. Kathy Mathis at (615) 898-2113 or the CEE for more
information.
*Plans are underway for the Tennessee Energy and Environmental Expo 2000. Tentative date is in August.
