Sustainable Infrastructures pursues information technology research in energy, water, and transportation as parts of the cyber-infrastructure of a sustainable society.
CITRIS and the Banatao Institute researchers have contributed foundational research in energy-efficient building and grid management and technology; energy harvesting, storage, and distribution; and open-source platforms for control as well as collecting, analyzing, and visualizing energy data. IT research in water includes the deployment of wireless sensor networks in the Sierras and American River Basin for monitoring the snowpack, water availability, and flow. Other key CITRIS and the Banatao Institute faculty apply models and analytics on transportation systems and technology related to urban growth and mobility.
