What is Green Engineering?

Green engineering means using measurement and control techniques to create more efficient technologies and processes for environmentally sound products and systems. NI offers measurement, automation, and design tools that enable you to acquire and analyze real-world data, and then correct or fix any problems you discover. The end result is more efficient, economic technologies that are better for our planet.

The potential for green engineering applications spans almost every industry. While there are many ways to group these green applications, most fall into five categories:

* Environmental Monitoring
* Energy Storage Systems
* Power Quality Monitoring
* Solar Energy
* Wind Energy
