Installation of Solar Panels

Student Engagement: Today’s students will inherit this generation’s environmental problems. As such many students are passionate about the earth’s future and want their education to focus on or relate to Sustainability and Renewable.

Engaging them through the interdisciplinary integration of renewable and sustainability into all aspects of curriculum is possible and happening now on many campuses as school administrators ask themselves questions such as…

• Can students demonstrate and apply social, engineering, political, technical, and business skills that influence implementation of solar energy?

• Can math students track and accurately present solar production and trends?

• Can business majors analyze the cost effectiveness of a solar project over the lifecycle of the system?

• Can science students track the greenhouse gas emissions reductions offered by a solar project and attach it to the broader carbon footprint on campus?

• Can English and film majors create educational materials and documentaries to describe and publicize a solar project?

• Can Graphic Art students provide quality graphics and renderings for displays, web pages, signage, and written descriptions of the project?

•

The intent within this RFP is to be at the forefront of its campus goals and objectives with the strategy of attracting students who care about the environment and global future of our planet.

Inclusion of faculty in the discussions

The CNM Westside I building is intended as a new type of learning space that would encourage a more social and participatory path of education. The building was designed under the premise that the daily interaction with peers, faculty, and staff help student learn more effectively. Academic support services, faculty offices and study spaces are intermingled throughout the building as a way of making them more accessible for students during the routine of their day. The inclusion of the variety of study spaces types are intended to give students options based on the their need, preference and comfort level.

Conduct a study to understand what students, faculty and staff think of the CNM westside Campus and how the design may or may not support this goal

Hello Dan,

This is Eric Barros. I am an electrical trades instructor at CNM. We met at the Solar project update meeting. I realize that you are extremely busy but I was hoping that you could take some time to come and talk to my students. I teach Monday through Friday 7:30 am- 1:00 pm at the main campus in the TC building. Please let me know if this would be possible.

Thanks,

A Lesson from a CNM PNM Bill

Some lesson goals for the involvement of our SAGE students in the photovoltaic panel installation at CNM

Students will apply social, mathematical, technical, and business skills that influence CNM’s implementation of solar energy

Students will track and present solar project information including cost and usage data and relate it to personal experience through PNM billing information

Students will analyze the cost effectiveness of the solar project over the projected lifecycle of the system

Students will suggest dashboard data display in order to track the greenhouse gas emissions reductions, energy savings, and other environmental benefits offered by the solar project.

Students will suggest and provide graphic displays, web pages, signage, and written descriptions of the project

Students will learn about career options in the green energy field

What is STARS

Partner with Consultant

Initial Kickoff

A voluntary, self reporting framework

A guide for advancing sustainability in all sectors of higher education

A tool that promotes a comprehensive understanding of sustainability that includes social, economic, and environmental dimensions

• Analysis the Campus Climate
• Provide framework on how to proceed
• Track our Accomplishments

EcoMotion is partnering with CNM to facilitate the completion of CNM’s first STARS report. STARS stands for Sustainability Tracking and Rating System and is a program of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). The STARS report provides colleges and universities a comprehensive framework for documenting and communicating sustainability efforts across four major areas including academics, engagement, operations, planning & administration.

The STARS reporting system will allow CNM a comprehensive way to collect and gather information regarding sustainability in one location for all to view and utilize and will allow us to see areas of opportunities.

The value of STARS and EcoMotion’s proven process for completing the checklist, is that students, staff, faculty and administrators will be able to work together to pinpoint strengths as well as areas for improvement. In late September EcoMotion conducted an initial assessment for CNM by visiting campus and meeting with many stakeholders.
