Feeding the Needs
We seek to improve the environmental stewardship of our school, proposing a class designated for student-led implementation of our plans. We will devise a nutrient cycling system based on researched principles of waste reduction and recycling, food production with composting, menu supplementations, donations to feed the homeless, and greenhouse efficiencies.
Condominium Redesign
Redesign of a bi-level condominium to reduce use of electricity and natural gas. Incorporates natural lighting and heat as well as reducing energy usage with energy-saving appliances and fixtures to minimize all electrical use. Heating/cooling system uses heat pump to efficiently service temperature control needs.
