Exploring Wind Energy

The Visionsince 2003

• To create a “zero energy” learning

environment with both residential and

educational applications

• Model “green” techniques and

technologies that will act as a template for

construction in the 21st Century

Educational Implications• Training our best and brightest for cutting edge careers -- i.e..... all students in the Franklin County

Schools

• Shifting the expectations of all county residents to cost effective and money saving architecture --

including contractors, builders, potential homeowners

• Teaching the architects, engineers, and technicians of the future …Learning, thinking, modeling, creating, and coordinating new innovative

techniques

On the Cutting Edge

The CEED is truly “one of a kind” with

whole community benefits

The US Department of Energy stated

“There is no place in the United States

that combines green technology and

education in such a way you all have.

This is awesome.”
