About the Club:
PLaCES is a multidisciplinary group of CU Denver students, both
undergraduate and graduate, collaborating with CU Denver faculty
and local professional engineers to design, build, and implement
sustainable development projects worldwide.

Our
current project is in India. We will be providing electricity
for home lighting in this village. Notice the village has
many distributed hamlets,requiring the design and implementation
of several different sustainable energy systems.
|
Mission:
1) Partner with
communities in sustainable development efforts that enhance the
well-being of people and the planet.
2) Learn simple
living and holistic thinking through cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary
dialogue.
3) Together,
create innovative local solutions to meet the global challenge of
resource depletion and pollution.

These
are the three key aspects of our sustainable energy system
design. From left to right: The home-scale Vertical Axis Wind
Turbine, the village-scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine, and
