What is First Lego League?

• FIRST is an acronym for Further Interest in
  Research, Science, and Technology
• "To transform our culture by creating a world
  where science and technology are celebrated
  and where young people dream of becoming science
  and technology heroes. -Dean Kamen, Founder
• Participants of FLL are given a topic that is
  released each summer while programming robots to
  accomplish certain tasks, and test their
  knowledge by competing against other teams

7
FLLs Mission

• Mission 
• FLLs mission is to inspire young people to be
  science and technology leaders, by engaging them
  in exciting mentor-based programs that
• build science, engineering and technology skills,
  
• that inspire invention and innovation,
• and that foster well-rounded life capabilities
  including self-confidence, communication and
  leadership.
• Gracious Professionalism, a term that is defined
  as staying respectful and kind even in the midst
  of competition, is a point that is stressed by
  many FLL teams

8
2007-2008 Power Puzzle

• Research Project
• Every year, teams get a new topic to research and
  present to judges at a competition
• Past project topics have ranged from outer space
  exploration to nanotechnology all relating to
  science and technology

• Robot Game
• Team members must design, build, test, and
  program a robot to accomplish challenging
  missions on a field related to the topic

9
Robot Game Example

• This is the robot game field for the 2007-2008
  challenge, Power Puzzle (links on pictures)

10
Project Power Puzzle

• The task is to research current energy
  consumption and propose new solutions to the
  inevitable problems we will soon face as global
  warming progresses and resources become scarce.
• Difference energy choices have environmental,
  financial, social, and cultural impacts. The goal
  is to find a practical solution that considers
  all parts of energy use, including how energy is
  made, how it is stored, how we use it, how much
  we consume, and how we dispose of associated
  waste.

11
Project Outline

• The project was divided into three phases
• Phase 1 Building Audit Select a building in
  your community and evaluate its energy use.
• Phase 2 New Ideas talk to experts and propose
  solutions to improve energy usage.
• Phase 3 Sharing with the community Share the
  changes for your building with the community
  members.

12
Phase 1Building Audit
13
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and
Technology

• We chose to audit Thomas Jefferson High School
  for Science and Technology (TJHSST).
• TJHSST is a school established in 1985, as the
  result of a partnership of businesses and schools
  to improve education in math, science, and
  technology.
• TJHSST is a special school students have to go
  through an admission test and an application
  process just to attend the school.
• Ranked 1 among all ST high schools in the
  nation by USATODAY
• Audited 330PM 530PM 9/24/07

14
Why We Chose THJSST

• Thomas Jefferson is an old building that hasnt
  been renovated since 1987 and it has many flaws,
  such as high energy and gasoline consumption
• Its planned renovation is in 2009 and our team
  believe our ideas can be used to help make TJHSST
  a green school
• Two team members attend this school to make
  access easier, and some of our team members plan
  to attend the school later this year.

Phase 1
Notes

• Building built in 1965 with last renovation in
  1987.
• Average Energy efficiency is about 70.
• Chillers use the most energy in the building.
• Mr. Bridges has access to a program, that allows
  him to monitor the power usage of the building.
• The programs can turn on and off HVAC
  lighting in different zones of the building.
• Program reports temperatures and other critical
  information.
• Few years back as a energy saving initiative,
  light sensors and motion detectors were added,
  that turns lights off if no movement is detected.
• Next few slides shows our audit teams visit to
  TJHSST and snapshot of the energy program.

Energy Type Source Renewable? Pros/Cons
Oil Heating Oil Supply Companies NO Cons nonrenewable Pros easy and doesnt cost as much at first (though things like solar energy will have paybacks after several years)
Natural Gas Washington Gas Energy Services NO Cons nonrenewable Pros easy and doesnt cost as much at first (though things like solar energy will have paybacks after several years)

25
Possible Energy Sources
Phase 1
Energy Type Source Renewable? Pros/Cons
Solar Energy from the sun obtained with solar panels YES Pros its renewable, there are no carbon dioxide emissions, can be used almost anywhere Cons Lack of suitable sites, costs a lot of money, and doesnt work at night
Wind Comes from the winds energy YES Pros No carbon dioxide emissions, not very expensive, wind is easy to obtain, its renewable Cons Lack of suitable sites, wind doesnt always blow
Geothermal Comes from deep in the ground. Requires drilling wells YES Cons environmental damage, lots of work required to drill Pros no carbon dioxide emissions, renewable, unaffected by weather, capable of providing lots of head, clean energy
Hydro-electrical Comes from water flowing through a dam YES Cons Causes environmental damage, lack of suitable sites, dam failures may occur, not water everywhere Pros no carbon dioxide emissions, large hydroelectric plants generate a lot of power

Our Suggestions for TJHSST
Phase 2

• Replace the golf carts with solar/electric golf
  carts
• Solar powered emergency lights
• Adding photovoltaic panels on the roofs can
  significantly reduce the amount of non-renewable
  energy use
• Use efficient geothermal heat pumps (replacing
  natural gas heater) it should save electricity
  while protecting environment
• Use evacuated tubes and satellite dishes on the
  roof to collect solar heat for hot water/heating
  and for solar chiller (lithium bromine)
• Skylights can save the need for electric lights
  at certain times of day
• Addition of sunrooms with double pane sliding
  windows with awnings to the buildings will
  insulate the building, thus resulting in lower
  heating costs

37
Phase 2
Another Possibility Geothermal?

• Facts
• Schools in York County have tried this already
• Saves money and doesnt pollute
• Small holes, about 6 in. in diameter, about 200
  to 300 feet deep
• Holes spaced 20-30 feet apart in a grid
• More efficient and its renewable
• The grass in front of the TJHSST building is an
  ideal location for heat pumps
• Why not?
• Not all locations are perfect
• Not as practical (costs to drill and maintain)

38
Phase 2
Alternate Energy Sources

• Disadvantages to use
• High maintenance costs
• Might save energy costs, but might have other
  costs involved (ex. Building shape)
• When buildings are being renovated, its usually
  the original cost that is considered first, and
  not possible savings over several years
• Passive solar energy will cause the house to
  overheat on hot days
• Hard to run a school solely on solar technology
• Experimental solar panel technology at Terraset
  and Terra Center Elementary Schools in D. C.
• Removed due to maintenance costs and bad behavior
  from students (they damaged the equipment)
• Failure from overcomplication
• The costs of solar panels are decreasing, and the
  cost of electricity is increasing
• One day, the cost of electricity will surpass
  that of solar panels, therefore making the solar
  panels the better option

39
Phase 2
TJHSST Solar Panel Initiative

• The TJ Solar Panel Initiative is an effort by the
  student interest groups to purchase and install
  solar panels at the TJHSST.
• It is coordinated and operated by the TJHSST
  Environmental Impact Club Global Warming/Energy
  Committee. Sponsor - Ms. Amanda Hurowitz.
• Group of students are currently working to
  increase the post consumer recycled content of
  schools copy paper, along with many ways to save
  resources, such as requiring double-sided
  printing.

40
Phase 2
Info. On TC Williams HS

• Received a Green Innovation Award in the Best
  Institutional Project category
• The building adheres to standards and principles
  from the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED
  "Green Building Rating System" version 2.1.
• Environmentally sound features include
• a 450,000-gallon underground cistern to collect
  and store rainwater for use in toilet flushing
• air-conditioning operations and irrigation
• a rooftop garden to provide stormwater management
• waterless urinals to reduce the amount of water
  used inside the building
• a permanent measurement and verification system
  to track water and energy usage at the facility.

41
Phase 2
TC Williams High School, Alexandria, Virginia

• December 4th, we
• presented the robot game and project to teachers
  and students in order to initiate a robotics
  program there
• were given a tour of the school, which was a good
  example of a LEED (98) certified green building
