Description
Capital Region students have pioneered powerful, innovative techniques to perform energy efficiency surveys. The surveys produce dramatic, memorable images that engage and inspire diverse audiences: from non-experts to PhD electrical engineers.
These young people are from our communities. The majority are young women, and people of color. They are actively contributing to climate action and energy efficiency in the Montgomery County and DC. Their work is already internationally recognized for leadership in climate action.
Locations have already been surveyed, and dramatic and beautiful images are being published. These projects are now being made more energy efficient by the students: Capitol Hill (US Capitol, Congressional Office Buildings, Library of Congress); Montgomery County buildings (commercial, libraries, government offices, high rises, etc.); Smithsonian Museums, National Gallery of Art.
