Directory prepared by Adriana Maria Valencia (UC Berkeley)
Project managed by Edward Vine (on behalf of IEPEC)
First Edition March 2006

The primary purpose of this directory is to provide information to students (high school, undergraduate, and graduate) on energy and energy-related programs in colleges and universities as a stepping stone for encouraging their involvement in the energy program evaluation field. The directory is a "work in progress." We hope to obtain more information on the current organizations and to add more organizations to the Directory. We encourage users of this database to recommend other colleges and universities that have energy and evaluation programs for students. Please enter your suggestions using the questions/comments form that can be found using the "Contact Us" button on the left side of this page.

The directory is in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. Clicking on the link below will open the spreadsheet.

Directory of Energy and Energy-Related Programs

Selecting Data: At the top of each column in the data sheet you may use the dropdown lists (arrows in the right hand side of the box) to select the records to be displayed. For example, in the column labeled "State" you could use the drop down list to find all programs in Arizona.

Any selection(s) you make will remain active until you reselect “All” and put all options back into your database. For example choosing "Arizona" as the state and "Flagstaff" as the city will result in a single record being displayed. Going back and selecting "All" for the state will still result in a single record being displayed because the city is still set to display only programs that are in Flagstaff. To see all records you must be sure that you have selected the "all" option in each (City and State for this example) of the drop down lists. There are 102 records in the database.
