Welcome to Center for the Advancement of Sustainability Innovations (CASI).

    The Center for the Advancement of Sustainability Innovations (CASI) was established by the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) as a new capability in fall 2006 to be hosted at the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) in Champaign, IL. CASI was established with the goal of focusing the value of ERDC expertise, technologies and partnerships toward helping the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Army, and the Department of Defense (DoD) achieve more sustainable facilities and operations. CASI aims to contribute toward an objective, stated in the Association of the U.S. Army Torch-bearer Issue (Feb 07) entitled Sustaining the Mission, Preserving the Environment, Securing the Future, which holds that Army Sustainability is a true combat and national security multiplier.
