• National Energy Education Development Project Wind (by level) Wind is Energy Teacher Guide and Student Guide Wonders of Wind Teacher Guide and Student Guide Energy from the Wind Teacher Guide and Student Guide Exploring Wind Energy
The Vision since 2003
• To create a “zero energy” learning environment with both residential and educational applications
• Model “green” techniques and technologies that will act as a template for construction in the 21st Century
Educational Implications • Training our best and brightest for cutting edge careers -- i.e..... all students in the Franklin County Schools • Shifting the expectations of all county residents to cost effective and money saving architecture -including contractors, builders, potential homeowners • Teaching the architects, engineers, and technicians of the future …Learning, thinking, modeling, creating, and coordinating new innovative techniques
On the Cutting Edge The CEED is truly “one of a kind” with whole community benefits The US Department of Energy stated “There is no place in the United States that combines green technology and education in such a way you all have. This is awesome.”
