The tour was arranged by Professor Ramanan Krishnamoorti of the College of Engineering and took the students on a tour to learn about cutting edge technologies in the energy field. Students saw the innovations in home power generation and energy saving.

  • UH should be setting the example by incorporating these technologies into the buildings it is putting up. A prime opportunity would be the replacement of the Quads.

    • The University is working on a proposal and seeking funding to create a “living campus”. Imagine the smart house technologies but with all the buildings able to communicate with each other.

  • It would be great if the article mentioned the address of the NRG Smart House and more information on how a tour can be booked.
