Universities


One of the most alluring aspects of the Research Triangle is the high caliber of its three major univerisites. Each of the cities that make up the Research Triangle is paired with one of these top research universities. Chapel Hill has the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Durham has Duke University, and Raleigh has North Carolina State University. By leveraging these schools, the Triangle has been at the forefront of technical innovation.


Our team contacted Duke, UNC, and NC State and asked them to give us information on all of the smart and clean technology that they had implemented on their campuses. We've mapped their responses below.

Energy Energy

Any project that reduces energy consumption or produces renewable energy. Examples: solar PV, LED lights, smart metering, etc.

LEED Building LEED certified

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a certification given to buildings that are exceptionally cost-effective and energy-efficient. More

Open Data Open Data

Any project that provides collected data to area residents or an information resource free of charge. Examples: public wi-fi, city apps, city data websites, etc.

Safety safety

Any project that creates a safer environment for citizens. Examples: smart crosswalks, city alert systems, geofencing systems, smart emergency services technology etc.

Transportation Transportation

Any project that allows traffic to flow more efficiently or makes it more sustainable. Examples: EV charging stations, zipcars, smart traffic light systems, etc.

Water water

Any project that makes water production and delivery more sustainable and efficient. Examples: water reclamation centers, smart meters, etc.
