Great Job Andy and Matt
Thank you Andy and Matt for organizing a great year of AEE activities. They were also able to push all the paper work through to make us an official chapter of AEE International. They did such a great job that AEE International wants to model other student organizations after our group.

The Building Energy Retrofit Testbed (B.E.R.T) is a living laboratory at the UNM Mechanical Engineering Building. The building has been used to test energy systems and renewable energy technologies.
Thanks to the generous support from Yearout Mechanical, BERT's energy systems will be augmented by new digital controls and a various sensors that measure and monitor airflow. The added control and feedback will make it possible to perform sensitive comparisons of actual building performance with energy simulation models. The research intent is to improve the accuracy of energy use predictions and the reliability of the energy system operations within existing buildings.
Schedule of events, upgrade updates, and research findings can be viewed at the BERT Research Page.
