The Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory seeks proposals for development of sensor and control systems to support implementation and operation of highly efficient, near-zero-emission power generation technologies such as advanced combustion, gasification, turbines, fuel cells, gas cleaning and separation technologies, and carbon capture. More Needed: Your IdeasThe university has a climate action plan to become carbon-neutral by 2050. Your input is needed. Click on the link, take a look, and let us know your thoughts. Power Down for the PlanetBe part of an effort to reduce the energy consumption of computers and cut CO2 emissions by an estimated 54 million tons by 2010. Go the Power Down for the Planet website to pledge your commitment, and help the University of Maryland show it’s the most energy-efficient campus in the country.

Student Video Contest Guidelines 2009
As a special opportunity for Clark School and University of Maryland students, the Clark School and the co-sponsoring University of Maryland Energy Research Center are holding a video competition in conjunction with the 2009 Engineering Sustainability Workshop, whose focus is on energy.
Guidelines for the Competition
Goal of the Competition
The Clark School of Engineering seeks to reduce its carbon footprint by reducing the energy consumption of its buildings and laboratories. The video competition seeks to involve students in this mission.
Eligibility
The video competition is open to individual current Clark School students at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and to teams of current Clark School and non-Clark School University of Maryland students, also at the graduate and undergraduate levels, as long as at least one member of any team is a Clark School student.
Questions to be Answered in the Video
Each video must answer the following questions in a two-minute presentation:
- Target: What Clark School building, and what specific aspect of that building’s energy consumption, does your solution target? (More than one building may be targeted.)
- Method: How would you minimize the targeted building’s power consumption? Describe the technology that you would use to reduce consumption, including as appropriate the role of people who manage and work in the building.
- Local Impact: Based on your best estimates, what would be the cost of implementing your solution and how much energy consumption would your solution achieve during one year of implementation?
- Broader Impact: Why does reducing energy consumption matter not only for our campus but also for our nation and the world?
Selection
A committee of Clark School faculty members will select the winning video based on its success in answering the questions listed above.
Prizes
The committee will offer:
- Graduate-Level Prize: $500, presentation of the video at the workshop, and a link to the video from the Clark School website
- Undergraduate-Level Prize: $500, presentation of the video at the workshop, and a link to the video from the Clark School website
Deadline for Submission
By close of business (5:00) on April 15, 2009, all videos must be received at: cadou@umd.edu.
