In an agreement with the county, the school's Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency will monitor the temperatures, airflow, and heating and air conditioning activity in the downtown facility.
Students will then look for ways to save energy at the jail, then make recommendations for retrofits.
The analysis part of the project is expected to take about two years.
