 Solar ◦ Don’t have to waste electricity ◦ Heats the pool ◦ Consumes electricity ◦ Free  Geothermal ◦ Heats the school ◦ No heaters ◦ Also to air condition the school Wind For the summer Keeps the school cool

 Solar Panels  Green roof  Energy Efficient lighting  Water efficiency  Takes sunlight and exchanges it for alternative energy  Saves energy and provides natural habitat for humans  Lighting will save money and provide no wasteful energy at the same time  Dual flush toilets, low flow sinks, which reduces water use by 50%

Solar powerGeothermal Wind

 Produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity  Can be converted directly using photovoltaic's  Needs ◦ Panels ◦ Sun  Rationale ◦ Heat the pool ◦ Produce electricity  Locations ◦ On the roof above the pool ◦ On the whole roof  Converted/captured ◦ Solar radiation ◦ Energy to electricity

 Energy generated by heat stored under the Earth’s surface  Needs ◦ Water ◦ Steam  Rationale ◦ To heat the school ◦ Air conditioning ◦ Electricity  Location ◦ Heaters ◦ Throughout the ceiling  Converted/captured ◦ Heat from underground ◦ Large amounts of electricity

 Caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere of the sun  Needs ◦ Wind ◦ Wind turbines  Outside of the school  Used as an air condition for the school  Also can be used for electricity.  It will save $337,608

 School will face east to get the whole days worth of sunshine

 There will be recycling trash cans in each classroom, and hallway  Different dumpsters placed outside for paper, bottles, cans, etc.  Placed in cafeteria  Use laptops, dry erase, or chalk pads for in class work  Scrap paper for class displays or projects  Reusable trays at lunch

 We think Ocean Avenue high school is a great school because it has a very green environment. Since a lot of our school is powered by alternative energy it makes the school a better place and it also would be less expensive. Having a green school is simple and cheaper so more schools should start to go green. We think our school would work because we have solar power and geothermal energy so if we ever need a back up there is one.
