Sponsored by Prize Capital, the competition invited contestants to submit a two-minute video describing what they would propose for an X PRIZE in Energy and the Environment.</p> <p>The video, produced by LFM team members Jonathan Dreher, Mike Norelli, and Jeremy Stewart, is entitled Energy X PRIZE: Reduce Home Energy Usage. It was created in conjunction with ESD.932 “X PRIZE Workshop: Grand Challenges in Energy,” taught by Dr. Erika Wagner, within the new LFM energy and sustainability track, which offers a new engineering major in this arena for LFM students.</p> <p>The LFMs’ video was selected from 133 submissions by the X PRIZE Foundation, an educational nonprofit prize institute whose mission is to create radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity. The winner will be chosen by online voting, which runs through Nov. 30. The contestants receiving the most votes will win a $25,000 award from Prize Capital and have their Crazy Green Idea explored as the next X PRIZE in Energy and the Environment.</p> <p>View the LFM video at <a href="http://www.xprize.org/crazy-green-idea" target="_blank">www.xprize.org/crazy-green-idea</a>. -- and don’t forget to vote by Nov. 30!</p> 121 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/219394600 2008-12-24 12:28:07 -0500 MITEI Seminar Series This seminar was given on November 18, 2008 as part of the MITEI Seminar Series. Abstract: To address growing concerns about energy supply, carbon emissions, and the workplace, buildings are increasingly asked to meet higher and potentially more complex levels of performance e.g. net zero energy, sustainable and green, healthy and comfortable workplaces, grid-friendly, etc. Are these goals achievable or illusory? To what degree can they be achieved today in practice; and what innovation (technology, process, financial) is needed to fully reach these aggressive performance levels in the future? About the Speaker: Stephen Selkowitz is Department Head, Building Technologies Department, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he manages 70 technical staff in a building science R&D program encompassing Windows and Daylighting Systems, Lighting Systems Research, Simulation Research, Commercial Building Performance, Demand Response Research and High Tech Buildings. 5826 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/219340360 2009-01-23 13:51:42 -0500 MIT Energy Initiative This seminar was given on November 18, 2008 as part of the MITEI Seminar Series.
