High-Performance Schools: Affordable Green Design for K-12 Schools; Preprint

Schools in the United States spend $7.8 billion on energy each year-more than the cost of computers and textbooks combined, according to a 2003 report from the National Center for Education Statistics. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that these high utility bills could be reduced as much as 25% if schools adopt readily available high performance design principles and technologies. Accordingly, hundreds of K-12 schools across the country have made a commitment to improve the learni… more

School Wind Energy Project Ideas for Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) Settlements

Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) are a policy vehicle designed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to give violators an alternative to standard fines for noncompliance. Instead of paying the full amount of its fines, the violator can volunteer to fund environmentally friendly projects. These settlements are a viable source of funding for renewable energy projects. SEP settlement negotiations for many types of violations can be used to fund wind project development.
