Renewable Energy Project at Gisèle-Lalonde High School: Phase 1 Summary

This project, in memory of Karyne, aims to raise awareness about renewable energy. Phase 1 involved installing wind turbine & solar panels, raising over $45,000. Benefits include clean electricity production, educational initiatives, and environmental improvements at the school. Phase 2 will focus on education, conservation, and communication, with plans for further eco-friendly developments. The project has garnered support from various partners, sponsors, and the CEPEO.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Project Karyne- Phase 1 Presentation to CEPEO April 15, 2008

  2. Project Summary… • Renewable energy project initiated in memory of Karyne, who died from the effects of cancer treatment in 2006. • Project proposal presented to CEPEO September 15, 2006 • Approval to install a wind turbine and solar panels at Gisèle-Lalonde high school. • So far, the PK team has raised over $45,000.

  3. Benefits of Phase 1 • Production of clean electricity • Solar Panels: 1 MWh/yr • Wind Turbine: 2.5 MWh/yr • Combined total would supply a single family home with electricity for 4 months • A distinctive landmark that raises the curiosity of young people and passers-by.

  4. In addition… A symbol of the commitment to concrete action towards reducing our carbon footprint at school and at home, and to make ecology a priority in our community. A unique monument in memory of Karyne

  5. Influence at Gisèle-Lalonde HS • Specialized Environmental Program • Diploma recognized by the Ministry of education and coop program • Aéro-Solaire Club • Experimentation and learning about renewable energy. Construction of a mini solar car and participation in an inter-school solar car race. • Environmental Improvements • Construction of new recycling boxes by the students • Remplacement of disposable dishes in the school cafeteria

  6. Phase 2 • Educational Component • Online data showing production of electricity (on web site and closed circuit tv) • Posters, interactive activities and other educational materials. • Creation of a permanent mural illustrating the projects, actions et changes made at the school (in pieces which are added as new components are put in place) • Purchase of 30 Kill-a-Watt monitors and exercises in class related to conservation and carbon footprints (at school and at home)

  7. Phase 2 • Conservation Component • Energy Audit by a group of grade 12 students under the supervision of an engineer from Genivar • Purchase and installation of energy usage and distribution monitors and online data • Development of an energy efficiency model which will guide our priorities for future phases (controls, etc.) and could be re-applied to other schools

  8. Phase 2 • Communication Component • Involvement of feeder elementary schools, (presentations, solar model boat race made from recycled matierals) • Partnering with colleges and universities • Idea for 2009: eco-fair for the Orleans Community in collaboration with Team Ottawa–Orléans and the City of Ottawa • Special guests, green products and demos, contests, etc.

  9. The Future? • Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)? • Green School? • Green roof?
