NDSU Research team is a finalist in the National Cleantech Open Competition

Have you ever wondered how much energy you waste on a daily basis? Thanks to an NDSU Research team, you may be able to find out. The team is a finalist in the National Cleantech Open Competition for their creation - Switch. Switch is the first software of its type that allows people to access their energy consumption levels of their homes or businesses; all done by a cell phone or computer.

Jake Joraanstad – NDSU: “Going through with the mentors. Hearing from many speakers out there that are all in this Clean Tech Energy stuff and then helping us actually get our plan more focused so we can get the investment that we need."

Students left today for the nation-wide competition. Winners will be announced this November.
