| The Smart Campus Energy Lab (SCEL) is an operational unit under the Renewable Energy & Island Sustainability (REIS) group. The REIS group, which encompasses many professors and other labs in the engineering department, strives to advance the development of sustainable and renewable technologies. | The Smart Campus Energy Lab (SCEL) is an operational unit under the Renewable Energy & Island Sustainability (REIS) group.

| Similarly, SCEL also strives to advance this mission specifically by attacking issues with UH Manoa’s grid. Our main project at the moment is developing a sensing and monitoring platform which can provide enough data to forecast renewable energy generation rates such as solar PV and wind. Dubbed the “Weather Box” project, we hope to eventually develop a self-sufficient, scalable, mesh-networked and relatively cheap module that any University can deploy to collect data. | Similarly, SCEL also strives to advance this mission specifically by attacking issues with UH Manoa’s grid.
