About the series: Green Energy Training at CUNY
The City University of New York historically has trained the workers that keep New York City running. Green Energy Training at CUNY (GET@CUNY), coordinated through the Center for Sustainable Energy, is now training the green collar workers who can help keep the City running efficiently and on renewable energy. GET@CUNY offers existing training courses related to energy efficiency, building retrofitting, and renewable energy technologies. GET@CUNY also develops new training courses and makes them available as credit and non-credit modules at multiple CUNY campuses, including NYDesigns at LaGuardia Community College, and partner locations. This training is bolstered by the university's robust investments in research through its "Decade of Science" and its extensive relationships with industry, workforce development, and labor organizations.

Overview | Sponsors | Sign Up for BETA Testing
Embedded energy is an assessment of the energy used in a finished product. Its calculation involves isolating the energy consumed in the stages of harvesting, processing, manufacturing, and transportation. Every product from a pen to a chair to a house is a complex combination of many processed materials, all of which have quantifiable energy histories. If made visible and accessible, this information can empower and motivate designers of all disciplines to make informed and responsible decisions in their day-to-day material selections.
