  2. Our Materials • Electricity-Photovoltaic Cells A.K.A Solar Panels • Water- Rain Barrels • Structure- Big Windows • Heating/Cooling- Reflective Roof • Waste- Compost

  3. Photovoltaic Cells A.K.A Solar Panels • Takes in sunlight and converts it to a useable form. Each panel can produce from 100-320 Watts. • This source replaces electricity from the electric company. • Usually put up on or around the building.

  4. Rain Barrels • Collects rain and can be stored for future use. • This replaces the need for water from the water company. • Generally connected to the gutter to collect rain water better.

  5. Natural Lighting • Windows that take up most of the building to let in more light. Can also help heat the building. • Replaces the need for a lot of light bulbs. Also reduces the need for heating.

  6. Reflective Roof • This is known as a “cool roof” since it reflects the suns rays away from the building to keep it cool. • This reduced the need for air conditioning- use less electricity.

  7. Composter • Organic materials are put in the composter and broken down into nutrient rich soil. • This can help the plants and reduce the amount of fertilizer needed for plants. Also helps reduce the amount of trash.

  8. Biomass

  9. Biomass • Biomass is a renewable element as long as we choose to make it one. • Biomass is used from trees and other plants so as long as we replace them it is a renewable energy source. • Biomass works a lot like a coal fired plant.

  10. Biomass • It is burned and it heats water and creates steam to turn a turbine. • This movement creates electricty. • The only difference is it is a renewable source.

  12. Hydroelectric power

  13. Using a Water Wheel is a cheap way to create electricity. • Not only is it cheap, but it is highly efficient and green. • It will cost around $1200 to install a water wheel, but it would be highly beneficial. • Water flows over the wheel causing it to spin turbines and create electricity.
