The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) to conduct eighteen or more building efficiency Capstone projects.  Teams of students would be partnered with a specific building energy efficiency industry mentor. Over the semester, the students would design and build a prototype building energy efficiency solution to a problem posed by their industry mentor.  The final prototype would be presented publically at the Capstone Expo.
