Mission of CARES

CARES was founded in 2007 to address the disconnect between the creation of technological innovations by engineers and the needs of the end users.

Currently, there is great emphasis being place upon reducing the environmental impacts associated with human activity in order to reduce to effects of catastrophic climate change.

Unfortunately, information concerning sustainability and renewable energy technology is decentralized and unclear.

Furthermore, the needs of the end user are fully incorporated during the initial stages of the new product development (NPD) of sustainability and renewable energy technology.

Our mission is to enable end users to make informed decisions about sustainability and renewable energy technologies by giving them agency during the design, development, and implementation of sustainability best practices renewable energy technologies.

Our view is that end user control and access to the latest data, models and methodologies during the initial stages of the new product development will accelerate adoption of sustainable solutions.

The co-design methodology is utilized by CARES to understand the needs of and design sustainable solutions with our end users and stakeholders.
