Abstract Details

2003, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
Renewable resources are widely underused in the United States. Solar electric, wind electric, and geothermal systems all are examples of renewable energy sources that promote sustainable, environmentally-sound energy use relying on local, clean energies. Prior to undertaking this study, Miami University did not have a renewable energy system on campus. A practicum was completed that began with the study of available renewable energy systems and the feasibility of the installation of one of those systems at Miami University. The funding, support, and training were all gained in order to complete the installation of a 1 kw solar electric system at Miami University’s Ecology Research Center. The installation was completed by the Fall of 2003. The solar electric system is now producing pollution-free electricity while also functioning as an educational tool that promotes renewable energy.
