      Project Deliverables:

  • Expose students to the myriad of energy efficiency measures and technologies that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions on campus. 
  • Provide a rich experience in which the student audits and evaluates 1 system of a Rowan University Building (HVAC, building envelope or internal technology inventory) or an advanced clean energy system (wind, photovoltaics or fuel cell) to learn the methods of energy analysis appropriate for a business or industry within southern New Jersey needing to reduce CO2 emissions. 
  • Participation in specific topical activities and modules that will be announced via this website.
  • Students present their progress via bi-weekly team reports and/or presentations to keep the instructor informed of progress.
  • Two Oral Reports will be provided at the mid-term and end of the project: The Rowan University Energy Review Panel will observe the final reports giving an overview of their plan and results and recommendations.
