Colorado School of Mines is partnering with McKinstry to increase energy awareness and savings on campus and KUNC, Northern Colorado's public radio station, recently covered the story on air.
Lauren Poole, sustainability coordinator at Mines, and McKinstry's Alison Schwabe discussed powerED with reporter Stephanie Daniel. From the story:
The Colorado School of Mines has launched a new energy awareness and savings program. PowerED will retrofit facilities to be more efficient and teach students and staff how to conserve through online community engagement.
"We're training the next generation of scientists and engineers, and so we want them to go out into the world and understand energy and how people affect the energy use of buildings," said Lauren Poole, the sustainability coordinator for Mines.
