The Center for research in Energy and Environment (CREE) serves as the focal point of research, development, and deployment related to energy and environmental technologies and in particular the energy/environment nexus.
Energy Research through CREE focuses on the development and deployment of Energy efficiencies and energy security.
Environmental Research through CREE focuses on integrating biological and physical systems involving emerging, contaminating compounds and microorganisms in natural and engineered systems.
Our Living laboratories offer a unique collaborative learning environment to S&T students, faculty researchers, and industry. The six solar homes designed and occupied by S&T students function as a test bed to research and demonstrate real world applications of grid- tied residential systems with solar power generation and energy storage, smart and resilient infrastructure, and human and technology interaction. The future of small neighborhood communities - smart, resilient, secure, and environmentally sustainable- is being built right here at Missouri S&T Solar Villages Living Laboratories.
Available equipment for routine use includes centrifuges, deep freezer, freeze dry system, semi-micro balance and analytical balances, lab ovens, autoclave, walk-in temperature & light control chambers, large greenhouse, high quality MilliQ water systems, portable GCs, and many more items.
