Checking in - Group IV Project 2012:The Greening of ECA How to reduce our school’s impact on the environment
Where should your group be now? • With your group you will walk around ECA observing aspects of facility use and energy consumption that could be improved in terms of environmental impact. • You will need to document your observations by taking notes, photographs and videos. • You will research this particular aspect of ECA to determine current energy consumption and/or waste output to be able to recommend improvements. In progress…
What do we need to do over October break? • Find an example of how another facility deals with the same issue that you are investigating her at ECA.
Original sample problem proposed by Mr. Heil: I need to heat my swimming pool so that students will be comfortable during swimming lessons.
Find an example of a similar problem at a different facility. Hotel pool at your hotel on vacation.
Questions to ask: • What are the energy expenses of keeping this pool heated? • What measures has the hotel taken to decrease energy costs? • What are special considerations of this facility? • How can we use this new information to make recommendations for ECA? • Remember to DOCUMENT your research with photos and videos.
