New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) School Power…Naturally Program Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology (IAGT) Hannibal Central School District ESRI Amy Work: 315.283.9413 or awork@iagt.org
First Round: 2003 • 50 schools across NY installed a 2 kW PV array and data collection system
First Round: 2003 • Access to Performance Data collected from each of the 50 schools http://www.sunviewer.net/portals/NYSERDA_SPN/
First Round: 2003 • 64 lessons for grades 5 through 12 were developed Spatial?? GIS??
Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology (IAGT) • Focus on the integration of GIS into education environments • IAGT’s School Power Naturally Project • Developing Wind and Solar lessons using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) • Lessons focused for grades 7-10 • Use existing Performance Data (solar only)
Four GIS Lessons: • Energy Overview What is our current Energy Consumption as a nation? 2. Solar What is the solar potential for my school and home? 3. Wind What are characteristics of existing wind farms? What wind resources are in your community?
Web-Based Exercises • ESRI ArcGIS Server • Data stored in a File Geodatabase • 3 Services (mxd’s) to allow the layering and functionality wanted • ESRI Online Background Map & Imagery
Web-Based Exercises • ESRI ArcGIS Server Caching • All raster data was cached • Significant improvement in response time • 15 Scale Levels for each layer • Millions of PNG images created • Approx. 4 Gb of disk space for each layer
Solar Exercise Data Layers Solar Projects by Zip Code Solar Projects by County
