How can i industry sign banking kentucky ppt myself
hello everybody my name is Bobby Clarke I am co-founder Midwest clean energy enterprise and we have been blessed with the opportunity to get a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission it is going to help us put together an energy efficiency education dashboard I never heard what about that was when sort of told about the phrase but the idea is where the dashboard is that you could measure the use of energy from different sources and with different pipe charts and different graphics be able to see how people are consuming energy and with this grant the dashboard will be placed in commercial bank of West Liberty as some of you may know they rebuilt as a LEED Gold Bank LEED is the certification process all the way up to platinum about how energy-efficient the building or structure is and so they kept geothermal and they're in their basement there to provide heating air compliments to the energy we are also going to be connecting for residents at Frederick Place Apartments those residents will have what I call pulse meters that will go on to the meters in that building and so we'll be able to monitor how much energy they're using at any given point time or maybe 15 seconds intervals or some kind of delay but basically you'll see how people use and when they are up in the morning getting showers and things like that or an evening at home cooking dinner and stuff you'll see variations in the energy we are also blessed because the grant is going to provide two habitats humanity homes that were built before the tornado we're going to put solar on their homes and try to reduce their energy costs to almost zero called Net Zero and we wish we could do that for more people but because we wanted it this is an energy relation type thing we wanted to have an example of how solar plays in the mix of energy consumption and on their energy bills we are also looking we have not found one yet but we're also looking we'd like to find a home in the Kentucky Power area which is fairly small and in our in our footprint but we want to find a home that was built maybe 15 or 20 years ago because that home probably is going to have much higher energy bills because at this time is energy efficient as the others an idea is you can see always operating here this house over there now we are going to keep the people that are involved residents confidential one of the habitats home families has agreed to let us videotape and the purpose of the videotape is twofold one we want to share this experience this dashboard when we get it connected probably February January February is going to be web-enabled so not only can you go into the bank and use this big 42 inch touchscreen kiosk but you're going to also be able to go online and see how it operates we really want to help other schools get involved with their energy clubs and you you all and your kids kentucky power partial training that's doing the work have all worked a lot with different schools the idea if we start exchanging examples and circumstances one go unto each other but hopefully one day some of those kids made one comes or field trip and go come come to Morgan County and actually interact and see what's going on in the community how it is rebuilt also on the web we're going to be before and after and then much after the tornado is put some clips on again to share the experience Greensburg Kansas two thousand seven was destroyed by the f5 tornado they had three buildings remaining of this 1400 you know our population in that town and they were devastated and they didn't know where to go or what to do next in a FEMA temple five hundred residents returned to hear what was going on somebody came up with the idea why we just build back the green sustainable community now this town of Greensburg is in nowhere Kansas and somebody from there told me that so I'm picking on them and they somebody raised their hands at the events is what let's do something you know this young 17 year old says oh I can't wait to get out of here you know move move away and that's a challenge that many rural communities are happy because our young people are leaving and so they built back they got a company put up the money to build a wind farm the power of the entire city they have 31 green buildings and about 13 of them are LEED certified buildings for the tornado 40,000 visitors a year came to see Greensburg now why would you go that far see Greensburg well they had the u.s. largest man-made well I don't know if that I would rot to a nap from an airport no seeum handmade well but a lot 40,000 people dance each year now over 100,000 visitors from around the world actually come and see how this community went from devastation to rebuilding the community and that was a theme we invited Daniel Wallick in from from Reaper right after the tornado summer after the tornado to start sharing ideas so this dashboard is one of those things we saw a way to share and help celebrate the recovery that this community is having and so today lucky Aaron introduce yourself carrier is going to provide the training we're going to encourage you all to set up interview clubs in your schools and we're going to be here to help just that we're here trained today we're going to be be around I'm also got a pre-application in to the Appalachian Regional Commission to get funding to do entrepreneurial drink and help try to roof starts and business are we did a strategic plan about two years ago about how to rebuild West Liberty not the buildings but how to rebuilding the whole community and one of the things is designating this community of beginning promote this community as an eco-tourism destination location you know 45 minutes that way it's Red River Gorge 25 minutes that way is Cave run Lake and the Licking River is right downtown so can imagine one day you know canoes or rafts or you know other bed-and-breakfast ah's and other things that's kind of a vision that we had that's up to the community to do it but this entrepreneur training will help us the Marshall Bank of West Liberty when they rebuilt to five hundred square foot offices right there on the first floor are set aside for our training room and one of them is going to be an incubator so 46 businesses could set up their desk and be able to operate that business get themselves off the ground and we'll be there forever but as they get the building off the ground my first year so it's very stressful for an entrepreneur and so that's well what's the plan so with that I'm not going to talk any longer could you go and introduce yourself you're snoring the farmer more telling Elisha Collins from Wrigley Elementary I knew Hampton for Morgan great well thank you enjoy we're going to have lunch brought in about 11:30 out before we go unless there's a housekeeping thing anything you should stay away from I can get like a pepperoni but I get a veggie pizza what what is any any preferences I don't like change okay so much okay all right well we're going to get them they took three large pizzas so you may have some steak home or sure around the building before but I'd rather buy a little bit too much than be hungry there are Christmas being done that's there's water removes also water and cups run in at the kitchen door and so thank you and look forward to meeting you and interacting with you today and working with you in the future the back here thank you my name is Karen Gregor and I am the state director for the lead project we are a national energy education program established back in 1980 and a rose garden ceremony with President Jimmy Carter so energy efficiency and conservation has been a big component of our program but as an education organization we want the students to be sure to understand Durst and what energy is and where it comes from to truly understand the value of energy efficiency and conservation it's more than just about the month that's one part of our program the other side of it is with our good standards especially coming out energy is a huge piece of the science curriculum so we have 35 years plus of education history we've gone from this one kit when we first started out we now have over a hundred and thirty-five curriculum pieces on the topic of energy K through 12 so my responsibility for the last 23 years has been to develop a program in Kentucky where we are providing professional development for teachers and opportunities for students to become leaders in their schools and communities to educate about energy and value an importance of being smart energy consumers I always find an interesting business we often fail to stop and think about the role that energy plays in our daily lives that nothing happens without energy whether it's in the built environment or the natural world and oftentimes when we think of energy we're really thinking specifically about electricity and electricity is a big component of the energy picture but it is not the only component of the energy picture so I think it's very important we're speaking to our students about energy we need to be specific are we talking about electricity are we talking about transportation fuels are we talking about the energy that fuels our bodies so our program helps to build a foundation so that when the students go into the application of that knowledge looking at how efficient is your school building how efficient is my home life how efficient are we live where science tech news people we're going to purchase as a family they understand the science behind it so we have been doing we just completed our 11th teacher workshops across the state particularly did one in Morton every year which is probably this one to you all or every other year we get funding from the state energy office we get funding from Kentucky power from LG and EKU and from Duke Energy up in Northern Kentucky so we have some limited sponsorship from our coops which I understand most of you all are in looking valley and co-op okay let's take a look under that what's right but we do work very closely with each kentucky power which is they're generating partner so we all of our materials are free of charge we have purchased when we get six kit we got six science of energy kits so every school will have their own science of energy kits that covers the energy transformations and then we purchased two of our monitoring and mentoring kits for the district which will be shared amongst the schools once you get your students engaged another part of the standards it's more intense than in previous years is analyzing collecting data the energy efficiency piece with the student energy teams is huge piece that will cover those standards and it's a great connection to your technology standards as well the other thing that we're discovering with the help of some of our teachers who have been with us for a while is that there are many math and language arts connections to what's going to be happening with the energy curriculum so a lot of opportunities for collaboration and the elementary level you can do it as a classroom but at the middle school level we've got language arts teachers working with the science teachers on some collaboration pieces as well as at the high school level so what I wanted to do today we're typically hosting a workshop that has 30 to 40 teachers so this is going to be a modified version of what we would cover at a typical workshop we're actually going to dig into the boxes so when you get this box in your school you'll actually know what's in here and what to do with it we're going to go through and help you see how what we're doing at the elementary builds to the middle school level builds to the high school level using the same material it's just how it's presented so to start out with introduction we are as I said a national nonprofit Education Association total focus on energy education we work with industry partners with the different entities in the field of energy whether it be renewables or non renewables community less leaders we've worked we work with KDE here in Kentucky to make sure that we're providing materials that are standards-based they are correlated to all of the standards and to NGSS or caste as we have it here in Kentucky I'm biased we talk about the good the bad of all the energy sources we want to make sure the students understand where energy plays a role in their daily lives and to be sure they understand the value of good behaviors with our Energy Manager here in the district his major role is making sure that the mechanics are working properly that the air is being filtrated properly everything's operating but it's the teachers and students that are using the building who have a big role in how the building itself are we turning off the lights when we leave a room are we turning off the projectors if we're not using them those different kind of things that behaviors can impact energy consumption as well so we want to build a partnership between the people who are using the building and the people who are managing the building so we have a holistic approach to making sure that we're efficient that's going to reduce our school and our district's carbon footprint for many students environmental impact is what really gets them motivated it's also going to reduce energy costs so those dollars will stay in the district rather than going to the utility and it's going to provide the opportunity for you to teach the science content that you're expected to teach and then have application for those standards in a real-world setting so the students thinking well why do I need to know this we can apply it here in our own schools and communities to show them the value of that information in addition to the curriculum materials and I'm going to pass out some samples in just a moment professional development we are available to come in and events like this or we have come in and done trading for the student energy teams so if we wanted to do something at the district level where we pull a group of students together and come brainstorm and get some ideas started we could do something like that I'm available through email or phone if you have any questions later on still hesitate to contact me about that and then our student recognition program is one of the pieces that I'm most proud of because it's a unique opportunity for your students to be recognized for what they are doing in the schools and communities to enhance and encourage energy efficiency and conservation practices so our youth awards program for energy achievement is our way of recognizing students or student groups who plan and facilitate some type of energy project and I've seen real opportunities here for the district to pull together a district-wide project that would then be submitted to our national office the submissions ar-15s like PowerPoint so it's a matter of the students documenting what they're doing in the process and putting that into a 15 slide PowerPoint those are always due April 15th of every year a date we cannot forget they are intended to be student implemented so the students plan the project they facilitate the project and they document the project in April April 27th of this year we will have our state youth awards luncheon in Frankfort there's no cost to attend will have 200 to 250 students and teachers from across the state gathering at the convention center it's just been confirmed that dr. Pruitt Commissioner of Education will be our keynote speaker this year so it's a great chance for your kids to get a little bit of recognition from the Commissioner from dr. Pruitt so we want to encourage your students to take this opportunity to participate in that program we then have a national event in Washington DC in June every year we typically send 40 to 60 Kentucky students and teachers to that event it's a four-day event we'll have we limited to 500 students from across the country who are then again recognized for what they're doing they share ideas they get to CDC we take up to Tomek River dinner cruise it's a great time for the students to gather together with the common goal of how can we spread the word the importance of being smart about how we use energy so those are some of the things at the student level we do have a kids teaching kids philosophy we feel
like if we empower the students with knowledge they can impact the learning of others whether it be their peers we have some groups where little schools will come down and work with the elementary or high school the middle school elementary so I think as we kind of delve into what we're what we have available then you as a group can then begin to process how can we best facilitate this in Morgan County so hopefully we'll find some resources that would be beneficial to you and your students our curriculum materials are divided into four grade-level bands these are simply guidelines as a national and now international program we know that not every state divides grade levels the same way so we go with this designation that our primary materials are geared for grades K - and then elementary three five intermediate for grade six eight and then secondary would be nine twelve you have the Liberty to use whatever materials are best for your students they are all online downloadable free of charge so anything on the website that you think would be appropriate for students you are welcome to you do not feel like you're limited to our grade level bands the other thing that makes our curriculum unique is that we update it every year you're never going to find anything in a hardbound copy because we update the data every year the energy picture constantly changing so we want to be sure that the materials that we're providing you as classroom teachers has current up-to-date information we typically print in August before the school year starts but within that year even things will change before the next school year so it's an opportunity for your students to see what's in print and then do more investigation to see if that has changed one of the biggest changes we're finding is the resources that are being used to generate electricity here in the u.s. that's changing that picture is changing very quickly we have a multitude of resources on our website our website is just leave-- dot org in ee d dot o-r-g probably the site that you're going to be most interested in is this site here the tab educators that's where you'll find all of our curriculum materials there are three different ways to find the materials we have first of all if you're looking for something at the grade level band you'll click on one of those dark circles it'll take you to everything we have at that grade level if you're looking for something specific say for example you wanted something on coal this is our icon for cold if you click that icon everything we have about whole at every grade level will come up so you'll be able to designate from there and then over on the left-hand side we have the same designations in text so you can find those curriculum resources there the curriculum matrix is going to list everything that we have available on the topic at every grade level so what I would like to do now is to pass out your curriculum packets and if you would just take out it's a blue and white kind of glossy paper each to pan wall looks like that the materials in your packet will be black and white what's right is kind of turquoisey I guess this is the packet that teachers get when they come to one of our workshops so everybody goes home with we call kind of a sample packet of our material if you would look on pages 10 and 11 this is a listing of everything that we published on the topic of energy across the top you'll see the grade level bands designated and then down the left-hand side the different topics so we have several of our introductory activities listed there we do have some energy poles our energy games and icebreakers activity which you have a copy of in your packet has a lot of activities that can be used to introduce energy to your students can also be used kind of as a pre assessment to see what prior knowledge they have coming into your classroom our step one is the science of energy we need to be sure that our students understand what energy is what are the forms of energy how is energy stored how does energy flow from one form to the other so those of you that are elementary at your fourth grade you know that's a new standards for the 4th grade now with those transformation so what used to be covered only up in seventh grade now it's done in fourth grade as well so we have adapt our materials to a those changes in the standards step two looks at the sources of energy what are the natural resources that we use to provide the energy that's where we cover the renewables and the non renewables we look at the big picture our students live in Kentucky we're most familiar with coal and hydropower for our electricity but we want our students to understand that energy is a global issue it's not just a Kentucky issue it's not just something we use here in Kentucky I've had the good fortune of doing workshops the same workshops we do in the United States I've done in Amsterdam Dubai and Kuwait we also do that in the Far East so again we're all using the same energy we're all using the same natural resources it is a global picture what's happening in India and China with your coal-fired power plants they're being billed with old technology has an impact on us here in the US because the clean air that we're producing here in the US doesn't stay airflow around the content of planet so the air that's being polluted elsewhere is going to eventually come to the u.s. so we need to address energy and especially generation of electricity as a global picture so with our sources of energy we want our students to have a basic understanding of those energy sources that are available the five renewables the five non-renewable to understand the advantage advantages and disadvantages of each the pros and cons your students may come up with an idea that this is the best energy source but then we have to evaluate is that energy source available in Kentucky Bobby was talking about the city kansas great FERC and that was great bird but I couldn't remember Kansas they've turned a win with some research your students are going to find when there's not a viable option in Kentucky we just don't have that natural resource available to replace or provide the quantity of electricity that we require here in Kentucky so we have to look at we may think this is a great resource but it's not available we can't do anything about that we have to look at what is available therefore the students will quickly learn that what we have available in Kentucky we have coal we have natural gas we have hydropower we have applications for solar mainly like Bobbi was saying on individual basis but several of our utilities and East Kentucky power is one who's just filed for a solar farm Kentucky utilities excusing yeah kayuu Kentucky utilities and LG&E have two solar farms one is just south of Shaker Village and Harrodsburg and the other is going to be in Western Kentucky but when you look at one of the things I visited the one in Harrodsburg last summer and you've got a 50 acre plot that will generate electricity for a hundred homes as opposed to a Coal Fired natural gas power plant on a much smaller footprint that will generate electricity for a hundred thousands of homes so again you're looking at production footprint of the plant so all the different things the students need to consider when we're talking about what are viable options so every energy source has pros and cons advantages and disadvantages we want to be sure that the students have a good foundation one of the energy sources that oh I feel question right click what's the number one country that generates electricity with nuclear power using uranium as the natural resource Japan has a lot not as much as they used to before the tsunami any ideas probably heard a lot about France France produces about 80 percent of their electricity with nuclear power but France is in a very big country the number one country for producing electricity with nuclear power is the United States why is that surprise to us well number one we have none in Kentucky and we don't have very much very close to us but it's we have it here in the US it's a very low cost once you get the plant built it's safe is a word that means different things to different people you know you talk about what happened in Japan and it's scary a good comparison is our Three Mile Island which some of you may or may not remember was not what happened in Chernobyl because of the way we build our power plants we have a much safer process for building our power plants so we did not have a Chernobyl experience the closest power nuclear here to us is down in Tennessee but we want to so we take teachers to see those power plants we actually go down and visit and we visit a wind farm we do a lot of different things on our energy tool which I'll talk about a little bit later but again we want our students to understand these are the 10 major energy sources that are used across the planet mainly to generate electricity but they also provide us with transportation fuels for the energy for industry the energy the same energy that's been used in that natural gas or coal fired power plant not as natural gas or coal that it's stored chemical energy and it's stored in chemical energy that came from biomass from organic matter it's that same chemical energy that we fuel our bodies with when we eat so seeing all those connections between energy as a in the built environment but also energy use in the natural world so step number 2 looking at the sources of energy is where we build that foundation with the basic understanding of those 10 energy sources as you go further into the study we have we've just completed we got a grant from the State Energy Office to update two years ago we developed cold curriculum for Kentucky and we've just recently updated that curriculum it will be available to the printer now so in January it will be available so if you want to do more study on coal and coal in Kentucky we'll have that available if your students are interested in the solar we have a solar kit where the students are actually doing demonstrations and activities to understand solar energy there's a an introductory piece in the science of energy kit that you're going to receive so you can introduce solar to your students we have a hydropower kit and we have a wind kit and most kits are available at the primary elementary intermediate and secondary level so their grade levels specific kits on those energy sources so we have a lot to offer it just depends on what your interests are what your standards you're going to be addressing and what the interests of your students the other piece that I think is important is that not only are we providing opportunities for content knowledge but life skills one of the things that we do on our energy tour when we're visiting different sites is we're looking for energy businesses energy production in Kentucky we're looking at opportunities for careers for the students that are in our classrooms and one of the things we ask the industry professionals is what are you looking for in future employees and very rarely is it content most of the time it's life skills I need to know they're going to show up for work on time they're going to be reliable they can work well in the group they can follow directions and they can pass a drug test and that's the number one but they have a lot of kids who are really qualified but they can't pass the drug test so I just I stress that because it's important for us when we've got them in the k-12 sectors to really stress for them that you're you're building your knowledge base to have a successful career as an adult so a lot of our activities will provide the students to work collaboratively it will provide opportunities for the students to do projects together so that collaboration piece is very important and then we supervised opportunities for public speaking or developing pamphlets brochures powerpoints things that again relate that to language arts standards so you're going to find it it's very encompassing as part as part of the curriculum our step three looks at electricity and magnetism everybody uses electricity we're using it more and more with all the electronics that we have but do we really understand where it's coming from or how its generated other than we know it's out there somewhere most of our younger students will point to a plug and say you know I don't know if we plug it in and it works they'll know where the gasoline comes some of them a gas station in the grocery store but unless they've actually seen a power plant they really don't understand so we want them to understand that process we also want them to understand that we as consumers are creating the demand for that product if we didn't want electricity we would have no power plant so we have to accept some of the responsibility for what the product and sometimes we don't like the way it's being produced but it's what we have available we want to make those connections but we have to understand that we as a population if you're plugging things in you are a consumer who wants that product and we want it 24/7 we want you to understand how it came to be what resources were being used in the process our step four looks at transportation what opportunities do we have for personal transportation what opportunities do we have for public transportation ups in Louisville has switched most of their vehicles to natural gas which is a much cleaner fuel for distribution of in their trucks a lot of our larger cities have gone to either electric or natural gas and fleets and buses one of the things that I always caution people talk about a lot got an electric vehicle it's not polluting it's not polluting out of a tailpipe but the electricity that is being generated to power that vehicle came from a power plant and if you don't trace back where that powers that electricity is coming from there's a real disconnect between I have a zero emission vehicle the vehicle itself may be zero emissions but that electricity to power the vehicle had to come from somewhere so there often times as a misunderstanding and we find that in marketing which is another opportunity especially for our high school students to know how to read for bias and an article or information to understand what's fact and what's maybe a bias opinion so we want to give them again those opportunities and then we come to step five which is our energy efficiency and conservation and that's where we're putting boots to the ground I now understand what energy is where it comes from how electricity is generated now I want to apply this knowledge in my world and that's where we typically form our student energy teams to look at how energy is being used in our school one of the first things we encourage the students to do have you all done any work with portfolio manager in the district with any of your schools yet there you okay the US Department of Energy has many resources that are available free of charge and one of the things that we encourage students to do is to complete the portfolio manager it's a spreadsheet and it will give you a real score of how your school is functioning on an energy efficiency scale and it compares like schools great if it's an elementary to Elementary's built during the same time frame in the same climate zone because what happens in Michigan is going to be very different than here in Kentucky and the purpose of this is to number one give you a baseline to understand where you currently are as far as your energy efficiency but we can't measure change if we don't know where we started so that portfolio manager will give you the opportunity to get that baseline figure so anything you do beyond that point you can measure have we improved over the last time we completed portfolio manager it is a spreadsheet so if your technology classes are calling for how to learn how to do a spreadsheet the only thing it requires is you need a year's worth of utility data for your school and we typically say get the data for the previous school year because you want to compare school time frames so you'll go July 1 of 1 year to June 30th of the next school year and then once you get your baseline each month the students can then input the data for t
e previous month so you can keep an online tracking of how you're doing so it's a great way again to measure if we've improved efficiency the biggest improvement opportunities are going to be in the mechanics of the building which is a big job for your team but the building occupants as I mentioned earlier can have a big role as well because they may be working really hard to keep the motors running efficiently and making sure that the cracked windows are fixed but if we're leaving lights on and we're opening windows with the air conditioner the heat is running or popping doors open when we go out to recess we're negating the positives that the maintenance crew this is trying to implement so it's a partnership and one of the greatest things that we want to encourage is reinforcing positive behaviors we do not want energy management to be seen as a negative it's not to point fingers at people who are not doing things correctly it's to positively reinforce those who are because we do not want energy management to be seen as a you know they just want me to not use all my equipment are they I'm out of they'll have control over anything that's not the point the point is we want to be efficient we want to be smart about using that energy especially the electricity and we want to keep those dollars in the school I daresay you've got all the money you need for everything you want right we have testimony from once Kentucky superintendents who told his district if we weren't active with our energy management we would no longer have our music and PE teachers we just couldn't afford it but with the money we've saved we still have those teachers had another superintendent he said the only reason we can do field trips is because we have money saved from energy to be able to cover the cost of the buses so there are incentives and motivations for saving that electricity saving those dollars and each district has to come up with a plan but it's important that the students are rewarded and recognized for their efforts in some fashion it doesn't have to be major but we do want to be sure the students have some kind of opportunity to be recognized for what they're doing and even with our student energy team typically our teams are anywhere from five to ten or 15 students I don't encourage anybody to have a team of over 20 because it just gets more than you can handle but it doesn't mean that those five students are the only ones working on the project they are just the facilitators to educate everybody else because it takes everybody in the building understanding why we're doing what we're doing to be on board these students are not going to go around to be in the school and make sure everybody's turned their lights off the last person out of every classroom is going to be responsible for making sure the lights off and they're going to understand why and we'll go into that more detail a little bit later and then our step six you'll see a large list there of activities that can be used for culminating activities for enrichment many of those activities can be student-led they could be activities some of our middle school in high schools the teams will do some kind of announcements on morning announcements or the afternoon encouraging energy efficiency October is energy Awareness Month so many of them will have an energy announcement once a week for that week or for that month a lot of different ways to use those materials it's led to the creativity of the students and step 7 is evaluation we didn't have several polls on our website that you can use to assess prior knowledge for energy and then we have a question Bank as well that's been developed most of us that work for me we're not a very big organization but most of us are former classroom teachers so we've come up with a list of questions that you might want to use or if you're stuck on a question for a particular topic of energy both open response and multiple-choice so there are opportunities there on the website and then in the student outreach piece of it step number eight that piece goes into more detail about our youth awards program and what we have to offer there for the student leadership piece so any questions on that matrix feel free to interrupt me at any time - the next thing that you're going to see in your packets are info books and you're going to have a primary an elementary a middle intermediate and a secondary the info book gives you content on the chin sources of energy you have information on what energy is you have information on electricity and an introduction to energy efficiency and conservation let's look at the intermediate one as a group you'll notice on the front cover it does tell you this is the intermediate grade level and the subject areas that are touched on in this document are going to be science math technology social studies and language arts so again a lot of cross-disciplinary opportunities here you'll see on the inside cover there's a list of our teacher advisory board these are the folks that review all of our curriculum we do have some Kentucky teachers on that board so they are the ones that are helping us to update the curriculum and make sure that the activities are not only grade level appropriate but engaging for the students you'll not also notice there it says permission to copy you have our permission to make copies of anything that we have so don't hesitate if there's something you want to use you have our permission to copy it if you do have smart boards we do have several of our materials are designed for use with the smart board so it will be noted on the website if those particular materials have been adapted for the smart boards on the table of contents you'll notice the standards correlations they are correlated to NGSS but we also have correlations to the kentucky cat so what I wanted to show you nope it's not coming up business okay never mind I'm connected but I don't know how to get it to show over the screen so what I wanted to cost you about when you get to the Kentucky standards when you go to I do it the clicker oh thank you mom having all kind of technical difficulty it's changing on my computer but it's not changing up here yeah I always like that'll techie in the room and every system excellent that's make Wow and how many years to just announce congratulations good job awesome and what Kentucky is a leader nationally in school energy efficiency we have got a fantastic program we used our state when the era dollars came out we use those very wisely and got the state energy office really not behind school efficiencies and we sat I think the letter did you get the letter that came out from since I think Monday it came out it was a cumulative total of how many millions of dollars we've saved in Kentucky and our program is being seen as a model I'm actually going to West Virginia and January to make a presentation to the state superintendents they're talking about the success of our Kentucky program and how much we have seen before it's weird hostile new miners competition every year that thing because they better watch decrease to us per hour right and it's one high school for the district how many Middle School's one middle school okay who's your architect okay as soon as your engineering firm see MPA you're in good hands yeah oh great excellent Oh perfect what are you using in your gym okay okay you okay what modifications in your cafeteria ah very good no priors right everything conviction oh convection ovens okay so you got rid of those things really awesome where's this oh well we haven't met zero of schools here in Kentucky Richards no Elementary in Warren County and several near Net Zero turkey flip middle school up in Kenton County is near Net Zero they all have are you going to be using gray waters for flushing you can do a cistern system that's one big savings is not using potable water using rainwater to flush toilets that one it are you go ahead geothermal steel thermal geothermal awesome where did you put the well are they under a parking lot or opportunity yes Oh ball fielding yes ball field so now what you're doing some the great thing that's awesome okay do you have a good design team that works together on making all the planning what one of the things that we encourage sisters to do we've done this up in Kenton County and in Warren County is to engage some students in the process the number one thing we recommend is getting teachers on your committee who you are going to be using the building one of the worst excellence excellence because often times designs are major they're efficient for construction but it's not efficient for the use of a building so it's important to get input from the teachers but it's also important to get the students engaged because they learn from the process and for example with the geothermal wells once the wells are drilled and it's covered by whatever unless you were there to see it happen you don't even know it's there so if the students take that get that knowledge early on for the rest of their life they're talking about the geothermal that was there because they saw it it's also a great geology connection when you do your core samples if you can get some of those core samples from the drilling to keep in the science lab for geology of the area so again trying to make as many connections to what you're doing to the classroom has that ongoing message and the students become ambassadors for what you're doing because they understand the process
