Center for Energy Efficiency

Welcome to the Center for Energy Efficiency at Middle Tennessee State University.  The Center grew out of recognition of a need to have an organized approach to implementing energy efficiency activities on campus designed to improve facilities and provide educational opportunities for students and the professional community.  The Center has developed a three point concept to promote energy efficiency and environmental awareness and stewardship:  the 3 C’s are CAMPUS, CLASSROOM, and COMMUNITY.

Our Mission

The Center for Energy Efficiency  (CEE) was established in 1999 at Middle Tennessee State University with a mission to develop, implement and advance sound energy management practices for the university and the community. The focus of the CEE is demonstrated in its projects and initiatives implemented on the campus and across other sectors of the community as well as its direct support of education in the classroom.

  • Campus
    The CEE has maintained a steadfast commitment to improving both the energy performance and the overall physical condition of the facilities on the campus of MTSU. A comprehensive retrofit program has been implemented for existing buildings that considers energy efficiency/management, operational, and maintenance opportunities. This program is coordinated closely with capital maintenance projects and routine maintenance and operations (M&O) activities. In addition, energy standards have been implemented for new buildings as part of the design requirements. The CEE has also gotten involved in other non-facility areas on campus such as recycling and transportation.
  • Community
    The CEE partners contracts and partners with other organizations to provide energy management expertise and services. Other partners and clients include various State agencies, private companies, and national organizations.
  • Classroom
    Finally, the CEE works closely with the Engineering Technology and Industrial Studies Department to coordinate and provide teaching resources for classroom instruction, scholarships, and student work opportunities for students.
