With schools such as Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, Columbia, MIT, and USC in the mix of 19 teams, the had the makings of a stiff competition. Meant to provide energy-efficiency experience to the next generation of engineers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, the challenge tasked each team with developing energy solutions to case studies. One of the scenarios involved the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Carnegie Mellon team recommended it be sold or leased long-term to a developer who would be required to meet water and energy sustainability milestones. The judges liked the innovative plan enough to award “Best Proposal” in the competition to the 麻豆村 team, made up of Enes Hosgor (E’12), Erica Cochran (A’12), Colleen Lueken (E’12), Donald Johnson (TPR’12), and Farhad Farahmand (HNZ’12).
