William J. HutzelProfessor
Campus: West Lafayette Biography:Bill Hutzel is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) at Purdue and his academic career has focused on learning, discovery, and engagement related to high performance buildings. The goal is to integrate cost effective energy technologies with renewable energy to achieve buildings that are net zero in terms of their annual demand for off-site electricity. In addition to technical work, Professor Hutzel has also assisted with energy policy as a Congressional Fellow in Washington, D.C.

Honors & Awards
Sample of Grant Proposals and Projects 1. Cold Climate Heat Pump (2011)– Department of Defense A field demonstration of a patented cold climate heat pump technology is underway at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. The goal is to demonstrate a cost effective way of heating that uses less basic energy than traditional sources of heating. 2. Solar Decathlon (2010) - Department of Energy The Solar Decathlon is an international competition where teams of university students design, build, and demonstrate net zero energy homes that are cost effective, comfortable, and appealing for consumers. 3. PI (2010) Solar Workforce Development in Indiana – Department of Energy Midwestern states worked together to develop, promote, and deliver curriculum materials on solar energy to instructors at community college and workforce development centers. 4. PI (2004) International Travel Grant– National Science Foundation Teams of undergraduate students conducted collaborative research related to HVAC systems at the Lucerne University of Applied Arts and Sciences in Switzerland. 5. PI (2003) Remotely Accessed Energy Laboratory – National Science Foundation A web-enabled platform for providing real time access to a variety of energy experiments was developed and used for distance education in partnership with Purdue Statewide Technology locations PublicationsJournals 1.
