What is the Wish List?
This page is a wish list of projects and information needs related to the Mad River Valley Energy Wiki and the Mad River Valley Energy Study.
What to do if you want to take on one of the projects
Step 1: First, create an account if you have not already done so. See the section "Contribute your energy-related knowledge and ideas" on this site's home page.
Step 2: Make sure you check "Enable e-mail from other users" on your profile so that Moderator can communicate with you.
Step 3: Add a comment to the "Discussion" page associated with the Wish List (see "discussion" tab above) to indicate your intent to take a Wish List item, including your name and some contact information.
Step 4: Create your new page, using a boilerplate if applicable (boilerplate pages exist for projects, funding opportunities, and events).
The Wish List
Write general overviews of energy topics and their applicability in the Mad River Valley
We need an overview of each of the following topics as it pertains to the Mad River Valley as well as completed projects and active projects in the community. Each of the following are envisioned as being a separate page on the Energy Wiki with a title that names the energy and relates it to the Mad River Valley, such as Energy Efficiency in the Mad River Valley.
- Energy Efficiency
- Energy Conservation
- Electricity
- Heating
- Biomass
- Biofuel
- Wind Power
- Solar-Photovoltai
- Solar-Thermal
- Geothermal
- Hydroelectric
- Fossil Fuels
- Nuclear Power
- Transportation
Help complete the list of local energy vendors
For most energy categories, there is a start to an alphabetic list of local energy vendors. If you know of a vendor for any category, please add it to the list. We are advocating that vendors add themselves to these lists and include a pointer to their business website for more detailed information.
Help with the Posting Backlog
Often people forward information via email which is good stuff for the Energy Wiki, but for whatever reason are unable to post it themselves. This information appears in Energy Wiki Posting Backlog. Posting information from the Posting Backlog to the Energy Wiki is a valuable contribution to the Energy Wiki.

Complete research projects for the Mad River Valley Energy Study
These projects will involve data collection, data analysis and possibly some form of report creation depending on the project. See the Mad River Valley Energy Study - Electric Usage Summary for an example.
- Peak Electric Load - This is the essential compliment to the kilowatt hour usage study which has been done for the Mad River Valley Energy Study - Electric Usage Summary.
- Building Square Footage - An analysis of the square footage of residential and commercial buildings in the valley to understand to feed into energy scenario planning.
- Fossil Fuel Heating Usage - An analysis of fossil fuel usage for heating purposes in the Mad River Valley.
Contribute images to visually enhance the site
- Site Logo - We need an image for the top-left corner of the site. The image which appears on every page as the "logo" for the site.
- We could use some images to spruce up the home page. These could be photographs or appropriate artwork.
