The research focus of the facility will be sustainable energy solutions, including high-efficiency combustion engines, biomass gasification kinetics, biochemical-enzymatic conversion of biomass materials, and capture of carbon dioxide from power plants and combustion engines. The lab will be in the same campus as the Combustion Lab, Structures Lab and Food Processing Technology Building.
High Performance Building services includes design peer reviews, energy modeling peer reviews, renewable energy options evaluation and Life Cycle Cost Analysis.
