  1. MOS3E McCall Outdoor Science School Sustainable Energy

  2. McCall Outdoor Science School Program • MOSS is the only publicly operated K-12 residential outdoor school in the state of Idaho. • Offers a unique place in which students participate in hands-on projects and outdoor field activities that appeal to different learning styles. • Helps students develop an understanding of the natural and cultural history of Idaho ecosystems.

  3. MOSS Energy Problems • It can be difficult to educate students about renewable energy and power generation Campus power usage is excessive Campus is reliant on non-renewable sources for both heat and electricity

  4. MOS3E Proposed Solutions Analysis of Biomass-Fueled CHP systems Energy Monitoring and Auditing Tools for MOSS Educational Programs

  21. Deliverables • Detailed report on current campus energy usage • Computer display and monitoring system that MOSS staff can use to improve energy efficiency • Plan for improving efficiency of current buildings • Comprehensive analysis of heating/cooling loads in a current building

  22. Monitoring Systems • Used for recording data on the power consumption. • The data can be stored and analyze.

  23. The Main Display

  24. The History Display

  25. Fluke 324 Clamp Meter 0-600Vac-Vdc 0-400 Amps 400 ohms and up 2 Year Warranty

  26. Deliverables • Educate students about solar and mechanical power generation • Educate students about energy storage • Allow students to experience “hands-on” power generation

  27. Educational Solar Cart Purpose: • Capture Solar Energy • Display Power Generation • Educate students about solar energy Deliverables: • Mobile Solar Cart • Power Display • Multiple Solar Panel Angles

  28. Educational Solar Cart The cart will be constructed using a small solar panel with LED display for monitoring power generation of the panel. This will enable students of all ages to easily distinguish changes in power produced by the panel. Solar panel angle adjustment allows students to see power changes during different angles at different times of the day throughout different months of the year.

  29. Hand-CrankElectric Generator Purpose: • Convert Mechanical Work to Electrical Energy • Turning shaft of an electrical motor creates an output voltage
