Renewable Energy is not a new concept at Upland Hills School. In 1973, they actually had their own wind turbine up and running. They've also built solar greenhouses, rainwater harvesting systems, and built their new theater from recycled foam coffee cups. It may help that their school is right next door to the
Ecological Awareness Center, one of a handful of State Energy Demonstration Centers.
Students at Upland Hills are actively involved in learning about saving our resources. From the "Bioengineers" class to researching arsenic water contamination, students are learning about everything from environmental pollution to energy use.
Energy Works is proud to award the first
10kW Solar PV system to a school with such dedication to conserving energy and restoring our environment.
