Join Tacoma Power, Franklin Pierce School District, and Community Energy Labs for an in-person Smart and Resilient School Energy Summit. The Summit will cover the basics of how our world is changing and innovative solutions that emerging clean energy technologies can play in keeping our air clean and communities safe. By attending this summit, participants will gain an understanding of the technologies, programs and practices that prepare them to address the increasing resiliency (like heating and cooling centers during heat waves or backup power).
At the summit we will cover what steers energy use through the day and how it relates to project cost and carbon via an interactive walkthrough of a typical day. Following that we will look at how summit participants' days would be affected by different energy scenarios, such as power outages. Through these and other interactive and hands-on workshops, participants will learn what is essential as well as what they could reduce or go without in the course of an outage. Our project team will take this input into consideration when exploring ways to use electric buses at the school as a means to create backup power and services at the high school.
Location: Harvard Elementary School 1709 85th St E, Tacoma, WA 98445
