Project Energy Education Goals:
- To
educate the city and Ozark region's residents and tourists by
providing a high profile demonstration venue of high performance
"green" buildings.
- Produce a guide pointing out "green" amenities in the
building, the purpose and outcomes expected from these choices.
- Educate
board and staff so they are well versed to discuss the
sustainable building practices we implement out in the community
and with visitors as well as the impact on the operational
expenses.
- Create
media worthy events designed to highlight the building, impact
on operational costs, and the educational components reflected
throughout the building.
- Develop
new curriculum and expand on our current Enviro-mania program to
discuss the benefits of the choices the DCS made during
construction and the long-term impact.
- Provide
project information on a designated page on our web site.
-
Coordinate with the City of Springfield, City Utilities and
Greene County to house demonstrations and exhibits on wind and
solar sources.
- Maintain
and expand the Choose Environmental Excellence status, an
advisory group that recognizes sustainable practices.
- Be a
regional resource/clearinghouse for sustainable practices and
environmental education in all respects, ie: air, water,
environmental justice, and solid waste.
