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.

随着人们对替代能源的兴趣增加，研究变得更加主流，需要对这些能源的有效利用进行研究。红鹿学院(RDC)拥有独特的设备，可以通过数据分析研究和探索多种替代能源的管理。从2018年开始，刚果民主力量在替代能源系统方面投入了大量资金。2019年1月，RDC的太阳能光伏(PV)安装被该项目的建设团队确定为加拿大最大的后中学太阳能安装。同样值得注意的是，RDC的园区是艾伯塔省最大的能源微型发电站，这是由于太阳能安装和热电联产(CHP)能源生产系统。由于该机构的基础设施和对替代能源的承诺，RDC是该省最大的中学后示范和研究地点。RDC拥有近4,200个太阳能组件、1兆瓦的热电联产、120万平方英尺的校园空间在程控建筑管理系统上运行，以及从红鹿地区电网中提取能源和为其提供能源的能力，RDC现在能够产生大量关于能源生产和使用的数据。同样，RDC能源系统和园区的规模和范围需要不断调整生产和利用模式，以优化RDC的经济回报。实际上，RDC已经成为数据管理、各种替代能源系统的大数据集成和机器学习的活实验室。这个活生生的实验室还利用真实数据、案例研究、跨学科研究和研究以及工作综合学习，为这些领域公认的学术方案规划奠定了基础。
