Mission Statement
The i4Energy Center uses Information Technology and Smart Sensing to create 'disruptive' improvements in the efficiency and quality of service of a wide spectrum of energy generation, transmission, distribution, and end-use in 'smart buildings and homes' - in short, dramatic savings in the nation's operational energy supply and a major impact on societal sustainability.
The mission of the Center is
- to facilitate and promote research on system-integrated enabling technologies that will achieve better energy efficiency, improved demand / response, and dramatic improvements in energy distribution.
In pursuit of that mission, we
- maintain a portfolio of multi-disciplinary research programs that acts as a catalyst to accelerate innovation in energy research
- develop and maintain partnerships with industry and govenment to profoundly impact the vision, support, and conduct of our research
- strive to promote tight communications among all stakeholders: faculty and researchers on the CITRIS campuses, scientists at LBNL, and our partners in industry.
