As the interest in alternative energy increases and inquiries become more mainstream, research into the effective use of these energy sources is required. Red Deer College (RDC) is uniquely equipped to study and explore the management of multiple alternative energy sources through data analytics. RDC has invested significantly in alternative energy systems, starting in 2018. In January 2019, RDC's solar photovoltaic (PV) installation was identified by the project's build team as the largest post-secondary solar installation in Canada. Also of note is that RDC's campus is the largest energy micro-generation site in Alberta, due to both the solar installation and a combined-heat-and-power (CHP) energy production system. Because of the institution's infrastructure and the alternative energy commitment, RDC is the largest post-secondary demonstration and research site in the province. With almost 4,200 solar modules, a 1 MegaWatt CHP, 1.2 million square feet of campus space functioning on a programmed building management system, and the capacity to both draw energy from and contribute energy to Red Deer's regional power grid, RDC is now in a position to generate substantial amounts of data on energy production and usage. Similarly, the scale and scope of RDC's energy systems and campus require ongoing adjustments in production and utilization patterns to optimize the economic returns for RDC. In effect, RDC has become a living laboratory for data management, big data integration of various alternative energy systems, and machine learning. This living laboratory also provides the foundation for recognized academic programming in these areas, utilizing real data, case studies, interdisciplinary research and study, as well as work integrated learning.

随着对替代能源的兴趣增加，询问变得更加主流，需要研究对这些能源的有效使用。红鹿学院（RDC）具有独特的能力，可以通过数据分析来研究和探索多个替代能源的管理。从2018年开始，RDC已在替代能源系统上进行了大量投资。2019年1月，该项目的构建团队将RDC的太阳能光伏（PV）安装确定为加拿大最大的专上太阳能安装。还值得注意的是，由于太阳能安装和联合热力和功率（CHP）能源生产系统，RDC的校园是艾伯塔省最大的能源微型生成地点。由于该机构的基础设施和替代能源承诺，RDC是该省最大的大专示范和研究地点。拥有近4,200个太阳能模块，1兆瓦的卫生卫生，120万平方英尺的校园空间在编程的建筑管理系统上运作，并且能够从Red Deer的区域电力网格中吸收能源并为能源贡献能源，RDC现在可以在能源生产和用途上产生大量的能源数据。同样，RDC能源系统和校园的规模和范围需要进行生产和利用模式的持续调整，以优化RDC的经济回报。实际上，RDC已成为数据管理，各种替代能源系统的大数据集成以及机器学习的生命实验室。该实验室还为这些领域的公认的学术计划提供了基础，利用实际数据，案例研究，跨学科研究和研究以及工作综合学习。
