UVM CDAE-295 - Fall 2009 - Service Learning Course - Renewable Energy Installations
From Mad River Valley Energy Wiki
Contents |
Project Description
The goal of this project was to examine the culture and presence of renewable energy and provide a comprehensive count of renewable energy installations in the four Mad River Valley towns of Fayston, Moretown, Waitsfield and Warren. This includes all systems harnessing solar, wind, water, biomass, and geothermal energy. This is the first attempt in an ongoing project that the Valley Futures Network Energy Group (AKA "Localvolts") is interested in continuing. The results contribute to a larger project called the Mad River Valley Energy Study.
This project was a student project completed as a part of the University of Vermont course entitled "Vermont Studies/Community Development and Applied Economics 295: Local Community Initiatives". The students who participated in the course were Joseph Adams, Marta Ascherio, Tom Batista, Sean McDonald and Jay Taylor. The instructor for this course was Chip Sawyer.
Current Status of Project
This project was completed in December 2009.
