The Precourt Energy Efficiency Center is an independent research lab that is part of Stanford University as a whole, rather than a single school within Stanford. At the heart of PEEC are research teams that include post-doctoral fellows, graduate, and undergraduate students. Most of the research teams include faculty members from different disciplines across campus.

PEEC is part of the umbrella organization, the Precourt Institute for Energy (PIE). While PIE engages in energy research on a broad scale, PEEC focuses on the demand side of energy markets and economically efficient reductions in energy use or energy intensity.

Our offices are located in the Jerry Yang and Akiko Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building (Y2E2). Opened in January 2008, the building is home to many interdisciplinary departments and independent labs from across campus with a mutual interest in environmental and energy teaching and research.
