The University of Minnesota is engaged in several inter-campus collaboration efforts on sustainability. The E3 Conference is an increasingly successful annual conference presented by the University of Minnesota Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment. It is an opportunity for researchers, legislators, business and nonprofit leaders, and students to share ideas and information about renewable energy in the Midwest. Building Research Information Data Gathering Exchange(BRIDGE) is a tool created by the University of Minnesota Center for Sustainable Building Research to create a continuously evolving knowledge base for building projects. Post Occupancy Building Evaluations are conducted and the resulting information is made available to BRIDGE participants. The increasing library of information allows agencies the opportunity to learn from others' mistakes and successes, so future building projects will operate at the highest performance level possible.
