Community Assessment of Renewable Energy and Sustainability (CARES)

A collaborative project between the University of California at Berkeley, KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), and Dar Al-Hekma College to support the development of a sustainable engineering infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East.
This collaborative project is supported by the CARES infrastructure and the development of open source tools, case studies and infrastructures to enable consumers and companies make informed decisions about sustainability and renewable energy technologies. CARES provides the largest sustainability database in the world, and offers a centralized, comprehensive platform for all inquiries "green" or sustainability-based.

CARES will:
  1. Assess current level of sustainability
  2. Advise on appropriate solutions
  3. Connect with vendors to help implement solutions
  4. Measure the improvement in the level of sustainability

Research to Support the Development of a Sustainability Engineering Infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Mon, 08/24/2009 - 22:12 — agogino

Purpose and Goal of Research

Currently, significant attention is being placed on designing sustainable engineering technologies, such as alternative and renewable energy technologies, to improve an individual’s level of sustainability and reduce the energy consumption, water consumption, and climate changing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated anthropogenic activities. The optimal strategies and decisions vary with the geographical and economic conditions of each community, yet few sustainability assessment metrics and tools take into account local conditions.
