More progress

Tomorrow I am taking a tour of the construction in Sabin Hall. I will be talking with Steve Pavelec, the Owner Construction Representative who oversees construction activities on campus. I have also talked with Cortney Schiappa, the Green AmeriCorps Program Director who works at the Center for Energy and Environmental Education at UNI.

She is currently out of town on a business trip until the 17th, however she said she would be available for a phone interview. I attempted to set something up for this evening on Monday, but she isn't has responded or gotten back to me. Hopefully I will be able to get to her soon!

For my article my plan of action to to visit the CEEE and question random students I see about their feelings about the efficiency of the CEEE. Ultimately I would love to compare energy costs of the CEEE compared to the typical buildings on campus as well.

Slide show: Audio with Cortney Schiappa about LEED ratings and photos of green technology and LEED buildings in Cedar Falls.

Video: Construction at Sabin and interview with Steve Pavelec.

Article: Investigation and comparing energy costs with all of the sources I have contacted, plus some students.

Map: Map of LEED/energy efficient things/places in Cedar Falls

Data Visualization: Graphic comparing energy usage. If i can't get the real numbers I will make a graphic with how much energy they say the building will produce.
