UMass Amherst is partnering with Co-op Power to host the fifth annual Sustainable Energy Summit! The timely theme of the 2009 Sustainable Energy Summit is "This is the Year! Now is the Hour!"

As part of a wide-ranging program on topics including home energy efficiency, alternative energy, and community-owned renewable power, the Sustainable Energy Summit will feature workshops on campus sustainability and clean energy research frontiers. The workshop, "Our Shrinking Carbon Footprint", will include tours of new construction projects at UMass Amherst, which utilize LEED or near-LEED design components that yield dramatic reductions in energy use. A "Clean Energy Research Frontiers" session will showcase some of the latest clean energy science and technology under development on campus.

Friday, May 1
