Our efforts thus far have primarily been to promote the use of personal renewable power, ie. photovoltaics & small wind energy located at residential or commercial building sites. Activities have included: program support, workshops, presentations, exhibit design, website development, consultations, etc. The Rahus Institute does not sell renewable energy equipment nor receive commissions for the sales of any particular renewable energy equipment. Solar Schoolhouse The Solar Schoolhouse (SSh) is a statewide program under development by The Rahus Institute. The City of Lodi has been a key participant in the development of the program. Lodi is the first city to attempt a district -wide rollout of the program, following smaller pilot efforts in other communities. The overarching Goal of Solar Schoolhouse -Lodi is to increase Energy Literacy in schools and the community. Third year (200405) accomplishments for Solar Schoolhouse Lodi include: • Three teachers attended the weeklong Summer Institute for Educators • 255 Students participating in the Lodi Solar Schoolhouse Olympics [May 7"', 2005] • Greater diversity in local participation for judges & volunteers at the Olympics, improving Lodi foundation. • Enlisted assistance of local coordinator (Lynne Greulich) for Olympics and other logistics. • Conducted Two Energy Smart Workshops for the community on topics of `Energy Future' and `Solar Power', averaging 60 attendees at each workshop • Assisted with projects at several schools.

Solar Schoolhouse -Lodi 05-06 Page 3 of I 1 The Rahus Institute May2005 Project Status Solar Schoolhouse Summer Institute — For educators from Lodi have attended the Solar Schoolhouse Summer Institute for Educators, over the past 2 years. The Summer Institute is a 5 day session of project building and hands-on activities, designed to provide educators a solid foundation for integrating solar energy projects in their classrooms. Dave Greulich returned to Lodi High and has done a great job getting other teachers interested and involved. Lynne Greulich has become our local event coordinator. Several additional Lodi educators will be attending the summer institute in 2005. More on the Summer Institute Experience is posted online at littp://www.solarsclioolliouse.org/solareclips/2003.10120031014-7.litini htt ://www.califoi•niasolarceiiter.orz/solarecli s/2004.06/20040706-1.litml Solar Schoolhouse Olympics (SSO). In an effort to attract new and non -science teachers to explore solar energy education and projects for their classrooms, the Solar Schoolhouse Olympics debuted successfully in Spring of 2004. In it's second year, the May 7`" 2005 event attracted 255 student participants. Guidelines have been developed which describe the events (model solar home, solar cooker, model solar cars, solar hot water heater, sculpture, solar fountain, art, public service announcement (PSA), solar comics). The Olympics have stimulated a lot of activity and interest in building projects and attracting non -science teachers. Event kits were developed and distributed free to teachers wishing to participate on a first-come/first-serve basis (example: solar module plus gears/wheels for the model solar car event). A webpage was set up to provide documents and tips for teachers of the Lodi program. http:i/www.solarschoolhouse.org oldsshlsso/lodi/sso- lodi.litml Several workshops were offered this past year to provide teachers a better sense of project building and solar energy basics, and to prepare them for working with their students. Teachers have indicated that the Solar Schoolhouse Olympics provides a goal helping to motivate students to participate. Is Solar Schoolhouse Olympics In 2005, a local coordinator (Lynne Greulich) was enlisted to help coordinate many of the local logistics. Lynne helped The winning Elementary division teamfi•oni Victor recruit volunteer judges from the community, worked on site Elementary logistics, delivered event kits, and much more. Additionally, an new game, called `Who wants to be an Energy Expert?', was introduced to test students' knowledge of the topics. Questions were taken from the `Your Solar Home' video. In future we could expand the question base to addition energy topics. Participants are already talking about NEXT year, which is a good indicator that this event is on it's way to becoming a Lodi mainstay. In 2006, some minor improvements will be made to make the event go smoother. We plan on recruiting more schools to participate through early advertising, and scheduling workshops for teachers, consultations for students, and including testimonials from participating teachers. Solar Schoolhouse -Lodi 05-06 Page 4 of 1 l The Rahus Institute May2005 Teacher Workshops: A limited number of workshops were scheduled this year. We did connect with several new teachers and the lending library coordinator, Diane Siemers, from Lodi Unified's Intradistrict Media Center (IMC), providing a needed orientation on the kits available for teachers to check out. Teacher workshops continue to be a primary method of reaching a greater number of classrooms in an efficient manner. With input from Lodi Educators, a schedule of workshops will be established and distributed early in the school year. Material Development: As with all Solar Schoolhouse projects, new materials evolve during the course of the year. In partnership with a few other co-sponsors, we completed an instructional video titled "Your Solar Home — The Art and Science of Heating, Cooling, and Powering your Home witli the Suit". The video is intended to act as an introductory to the classroom, providing terminology and the basic scientific principles. Videos were distributed to schools in the Lodi area in Fail 2004. The YSH video provides a solid base for 4-6 grade science, teaching about thermal energy (conduction, convenetion, and radiation) as well as converting sunlight to electricity. In 2005, we are working on a followup to the YSH video, tentatively titled "Your Solar Home 2 — The Solar Decathlon — an adventure in true zero energy homes". The Solar Decathlon (www.ssolardecathlon.ortt) is an event where 18 universities across the country are designing, building, and assembling Zero Energy Homes on the MALL in Washington DC for series of competitions. These homes all have the same goal, which is to be net zero energy consumers. Yet, they accomplish this goal in a variety of ways. Nowhere else can you find this diversity of true zero energy homes. A video and book wiI[ be produced by Rahus, documenting the homes, with a special focus on the team from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, as the California representative. This new resource, together with the YSH video, will provide an excellent reference for students designing model solar homes. Final production is expected in January 2006. Copies will be available to Lodi Educators. YSH—Student Guidebook — A guidebook is nearing completion. The guidebook is targeted toward 4"' through 6"' grade, providing a set of reading and activities, that all lead toward a culminating project— the model home. This guidebook is the result of piloting lessons in classrooms these past few years, and will provide a definitive resource for introducing solar energy education in the classroom. Expected availability is August 2005. Copies will be available to Lodi Educators. In addition to the video, we have developed what we call the Flip Cell Kit, a solar charging device that includes a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, a super bright white LED light, and a small motor & wheel for direct power demonstration of how solar cells work. A mini foldable solar module (hence the name flip cell), originally intended for the solar cell phone charging market, is included with the kit. Teachers attending the workshops assemble a kit, which they can then use for demonstration in their classrooms. In the process, they learn about polarity, volts, amps, standalone solar systems, and state-of-the-art battery and lighting technology. Additional curriculum lessons are I, lip Ccll Sola• Kil, with Lion batleryaid White LEU light. being developed and provided to teachers: this includes project ideas for building simple measurement tools for assessing sun angle and solar intensity, then correlating data to explaining seasonal changes ('Reasons for the Seasons') Solar Schoolhouse -Lodi 05-06 Page 5 of 1 I The Rahus Institute May2005 Project Description Building upon the progress made these past 3 years (2002-05), several tasks are proposed for Year 4 of the program, designed to support the accelerated adoption of curriculum, expand the outreach to broader audience, and enhance the experience. Proposed tasks are described below. Task 1: 3 Grid -tie Solar Electric systems with Realtime monitoring— A small (<1000watt) solar electric systems will be installed at the 3 winning Solar Schoolhouse Olympics schools. One Elementary, Middle and High School. Rahus is currently working to pre -certify a single pole mount design through the California Division of State Architect, the construction authority for k- 12 schools in California. Rahus will work with the Lodi Unified facilities management to install the pole -mount systems. A real-time monitoring system will record performance data and make the system accessible to students, teachers, and the community via the internet. Rahus, in collaboration with Fat Spaniel Technologies, has developed a set of interactive web a es to resent Grid -lie pole mourn designfor � � p p � p ��iniring.schaots of S'olur the data. A low cost hardware solution makes this an affordable schoolhouse Olympics '04 approach, such that there will be several systems which can be compared/studied in the local area. The web solution will maximize the educational value of these systems. In addition to their own school performance, students can compare with schools across the country. 5,ht�10 1',I;u nNn.C.ncS. of [ne=yy r.Yn Cl. ltM SOIaf SCRneib[a6C Ed..tian Energized' 1. n..latl a aln-ri�ssl.xm nr exr.Rx•un p:aia.y did..r4- by tHY Ga5[- I.:rrnir=y. f5ut yawl i.ln euucnln .YI.Y Chil- In Cxbfarm'n bs b ht%,. .StIl1 about yfllar nnxrgy and ... .

Solar Schoolhouse -Lodi 05-06 Page 6 of l I The Rahus Institute May2005 Task 2. Energy Smart Workshops — Clean Energy Topics Based on the great response to the first two Clean Energy topic workshops conducted in March and April 2005, Ra11L15 will work with Lodi Electric to establish a regularly scheduled workshopllecture series for the public. The series will be presented under the name `Lodi Energy Smart Workshop' name, and is proposed as a means to bring a variety of subjects to the community of Lodi. Lectures will be held at Hutchins Street Square, typically once a month starting in September. Potential topics include: Wind Energy, Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Solar Electric for Commercial Applications, The Language of Energy, History of Solar Energy Use, Biodiesel —alternatives to gasoline, etc. Each workshop will have handouts, and a set of web resources for participants to explore the topic further. The workshops are open to both community members and local students, providing an extension for students to explore additional topics not available at their schools. Several teachers have indicated that they would give students extra credit for attending the workshops. The Energy Smart Workshop series is an opportunity to create a dialogue with community members and provide a forum to learn and discuss energy topics and issues. Task 3. Mini Grants This year we will offer mini grants of $1000 to Lodi Educators to help fund projects and activities they would like to implement at their schools. The grants will be awarded on competitive basis, early in Fall 2005. Educators will be required to provide a written assessment of their experiences at the end of the year. In this manner, new, effective and interesting activities and approaches, can be identified and shared with others in the area. A total of 8 mini -grants are proposed. Rahus will manage the solicitation and award process. Rahus will also provide assistance to the schools in form of consultation and/or assistance in finding materials. Task 4. Enhance materials and provide additional support Work with Lodi Unified School District and Lodi private schools to identify additional material needs to support the training initiated during schooi year 2005-06. Explore new approaches to reach greater numbers of teachers in the K-12 grade levels. Build upon the relationships that we've established to help make it an integral pant of school curriculum. 4a. Your Solar Home — new guidebook and video# 2 --- Complete the Your Solar Home Student Guidebook and distribute to Lodi Educators. Develop and produce the follow up to the `Your Solar I lone' video, lbe Solar DaculhIon Nujecl, highlighting the different strategies 18 real buildings used to heat, cool and power your home with the sun. Based on the university level competition occurring in Washington DC in Fall 2005. www.solardecathlon.or 4b. Field Trips — Develop field trip options for schools in the area. Potential Renewable Energy sites include: Wind turbines of Solano County, geothermal plant at the Geysers, Solar Electric facility, hydro power plant, fuel cell collaborative in Sacramento, etc. Rahus will research and document contacts for several field trip options that schools can choose to arrange themselves. We will offer to act as tourguide on this field trip. 4c. Lodi USD Intradistrict Media Center (IMC) - The IMC is a centralized `library' of lab kits, books, and videos that teachers throughout LodiUSD can check out and use in their classrooms, for several weeks at a time. We have met with Diane Siemers of the IMC, and will work with her to better advertise to teachers what is available from the IMC. Diane also provides recommendations to teachers looking for suggestions. An improved catalog advertisement will be distributed at [lie beginning; of the school year, together with the Solar Schoolhouse schedule. 4d. Video Tutorials for Curriculum and lab kits - Teacher feedback from year one indicated a need for video tutorials for curriculum and lab kits. Video tutorials posted online (and available on CD, VHS or Soiar Schoolhouse -Lodi 05-06 Page 7 o]' I I The Rahus Institute May2005 DVD) are designed to help teachers gain confidence in conducting lessons/labs with their class. We will develop video tutorials supporting K-12 solar energy lessons. 4e. Project Highlights — Identify and capture stories of teacher success with the curriculum & materials in the classroom. New and effective strategies for integrating the material can then be shared with other educators. We will write up 1-2 page success stories to distribute via website and via district mail. Task 5. Lodi Solar Schoolhouse Olympics This event is on it's way to becoming a Lodi mainstay event. 255 students participated in 2005. Interest continues to grow. The diversity in events allows schools to pick an event that they are interested in participating. For 2005-06, a new site is up for consideration, along with some new and modified events. Rahus will provide the guidelines, orientation, teacher/student support, free event kits, and conduct the event. A weekend date in May again the target, and will be determined by school start in August. Task 6. Solar Schoolhouse Summer Institute 2004 Sly Park (Pollock Pines) - Scholarships for up to 3 educators from Lodi Schools. Teachers attending this summer seminar will learn about the science and history of heating, cooling and powering our homes with the Sun. Participants will build solar cookers, model passive solar homes, solar electric cars/fountains, and conduct energy audits. We will visit several local low-energy, solar buildings to see these designs in practice. In addition to learning the science of proper building design (e.g. thermodynamics, electricity, seasonal changes) and how to tit these exercises into your curriculum, participants will walk away with practical knowledge that they can apply in their own 1 ives. Integrating solar energy education into your curriculum can provide an element of excitement and hope for the future. Educators attending the summer session will continue to develop as mentors for other teachers at their school/district. !A!p�,l/www.so]LirsclioolhoLise.oi-g/ssli/ssil sJe2005.htrn1 Task 7. Teacher training workshops Our strategy for information dissemination continues to focus on a "train -the -trainers" approach. By conducting workshops for teachers we hope to provide them with a level of comfort with the subject, such that they take ownership and integrate these subjects into their classroom. In this manner, renewable enemy becomes a default lesson (or lessons) at the school, and is not dependent on funding cycles. While we have made progress in reaching more educators this current year via workshops, we propose conducting 2 full-day workshops during l~Y05-06, to continue the momentum. Task 8. Solar Schoolhouse Calendar As in 2005, feature Lodi activities in the 2006 Solar Schoolhouse Calendar. The calendar is produced via funding from many sponsors, including Lodi Electric, throughout California. Distribution will be to Lodi Educators and to educators throughout California.
