Highlights

Greg Lyman, chair of the Engineering Technologies, Safety, and Construction Department at aimed to improve national building codes by studying the effects of high winds on energy-generating equipment. With a $350,000 National Science Foundation grant, Lyman and his team installed sensors on solar panels at CWU's Hogue Hall to collect data on wind vibrations, air pressure, and equipment strain.
