Institute for Energy and Enviromental Sustainability


The Institute for Energy and Environmental Sustainability at James Madison University builds on JMU's recognized leadership in the Commonwealth of Virginia for developing and implementing innovative alternative energy solutions and applied environmental research programs. In addition to working with faculty, staff and students at JMU, the Institute for Energy and Environmental Sustainability (IEES), housed within the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Public Service, facilitates strategic alliances with external partners to advance the university's research and service projects.

Initiatives within IEES include Valley 25x'25, Virginia Wind Energy Collaborative, and the Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium. JMU is also home to the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Lab which provides opportunities for students to convert and adapt vehicles to operate on renewable fuels.
