| Vision |
|
| By
having both a "physical" and "virtual" presence the Energy
Resource Center is committed to promoting sustainable and
learner-centered schools for the 21st century. |
|
|
|
|
| Mission |
|
|
|
| To
assist K-12 students, teachers, schools, organizations, and design
professional's by providing real-time data and information on "green
technologies" and other types of energy systems and sustainable
school/community options using the power of the Internet for instant worldwide communications.
To help others build the next generation of "technology rich" and sustainable, hi-performance schools. These are facilities that improve the learning environment while being an integral part of it and offer opportunities for life-long learning in science, math, technology, architecture, and engineering. They also save energy, resources, and money during the 20-year plus life-cycle of these buildings that are the center of our 21st century communities.

The
five school project will utilize "LonWorks based"
building controls accessible in real time via web browsers and geothermal
heating/cooling with approx. 830 bore holes, each about 440' deep
with a field output of 2,420 tons. The estimated 10 year savings from this
performance contract will be $8.8M (link1) |
