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.

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

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

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)

13

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

14

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.

15

The Future?

• Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)?

• Green School?• Green roof?
