Towson University Energy & Efficiency Analysis
During the Fall of 2012, Dr. Jane Wolfson of Towson University brought her senior environmental science class to ACCE. They wanted their capstone project to be an energy amd efficiency analysis of ACCE. The seniors came out to ACCE frequently. During these times they interviewed and worked with the Green Team in the garden and surveyed the school. They presented a survey that they had developed to determine how much students
know about what can be recycled and how. They distributed copies to the teachers to be filled out by each student. The results were tabulated by Towson students and included in their report.The results of their research was comprehensive and extremely useful since ACCE is in the first group of schools that will be renovated from the block grant bill to transform city schools. Their suggestions will be utilized to make ACCE a more energy efficient school.
