The Laboratory
for Energy
and the Environment
(LFEE) was
founded on
July 1, 2001,
when MIT merged
two groups
- the Energy
Laboratory
and the Center
for Environmental
Initiatives
- to enhance
synergy among
MIT's diverse
energy and
environmental
activities.
LFEE brings
together collaborating
faculty and
staff in 14
departments
to address
the complex
interrelationships
between energy
and the environment
as well as
other global
environmental
challenges.
In carrying
out its mission,
LFEE takes
account of
the technological,
economic,
and social
aspects of
sustainable
energy development
and use and
of other environmental
challenges
to sustainable
development.
LFEE is home
to more than
a dozen existing
centers, groups,
and programs,
and will serve
as a focal
point for
energy and
environmental
activities
throughout
MIT. Educational
and outreach
programs coordinated
by LFEE will
serve MIT
students as
well as other
academic researchers,
industry professionals,
and policy-makers
worldwide.
LFEE's initial areas of
focus are energy supply,
demand, and use technologies;
integrated assessments of
alternative technology portfolios;
improved methods of modeling,
monitoring, and measuring
impacts of human activity
on environmental systems;
and improved understanding
of the economic, political,
and institutional dimensions
of energy - and environmnt-related
problems and solution options.
Particular emphasis is on
forming links among technical
and economic and policy
groups.
The LFEE Education Program coordinates two special UROP offerings: Campus Sustainability UROPs in conjunction with the Environmental Programs Office, and Martin Family UROPs with the sponsorship of the Martin Family Foundation. Current CS UROP opportunities are listed at http://lfee.mit.edu/metadot/index.pl?id=3958.
