Provides a technical introduction to campus/district building decarbonization using 5^th & 6^th Generation Thermal Energy Networks. Introductory lectures (1 hour/week) plus field trips (3 hours/week) to four Low/Zero Carbon sites in the Boston area provide first-hand experience with the technologies, design and planning involved in campus/district decarbonization. All field trips take place during class sessions. (Transportation is arranged and free). The class has four sessions.

Attend for 1 unit of credit by registering for EC.735 (Undergrad) or EC.795 (Grad),  "Thermal Energy Networks for Rapid Decarbonization of Campus, Neighborhood, and City Buildings"

This IAP class offers students an excellent foundation which can be further expanded through the Spring 2026 D-Lab: Thermal Energy Networks class (EC.716/EC.786) and/or joining the Geo@MIT student group.
