REIs: Renewable Energy Infrastructures

The university-based design / research team has identified and focused on a problem that is defined by renewable energy production, electrical transmission, and urban land use policy. The researchers believe a Renewable Energy Infrastructure (REI) addresses this problem in an effective way and ultimately surpasses the prevailing practices of each of these three identified areas. The researchers found several projects, both built and unbuilt, that either possess attractive qualities or address some constraint that an REI would also likely face.
