  • Beyond Energy: the Integration of Energy Infrastructure to Support Community Goals
    BEYOND ENERGY: THE INTEGRATION OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY GOALS A thesis submitted to the: Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In Partial Complettion of the Requirements for the degree of: Master of Architecture In The School of Architecture and Interior Design Of The College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning June 2011 by Andrew J. Ellis B.S. Arch. University of Cincinnati, 2009 Committee Chairs: George Thomas Bible, MCiv.Eng Michael McInturf, MARCH ABSTRACT Rising energy costs and concerns over human impact on the environment will likely cause changes to America’s energy infrastructure. Distributed generation methods, including combined heat and power (CHP) plants, are a likely to be key components of these infrastructure changes. Distributed generation shifts the major generation facilities closer to the energy users rather than relying on large power plants that are located out of sight and far from users. The close proximity that is created between energy generation equipment and the equipment’s users due to distributed generation systems provides power plants with new opportunities to go beyond simply meeting a community’s energy needs to contribute to a community’s goals and represent its values through its planning and design. This thesis will show planning and design strategies that show how the integration of a distributed energy system, including power plants, into a community can be used to address that community’s energy needs and its core, non-energy related goals. This thesis will address strategies and goals related to three community scales: the regional or national scale, the local community scale, and the building community scale.

    Southeast Delco School District Knightly News Volume 4, Issue 8 Collingdale Darby Township Folcroft Sharon Hill Communities May 2015 Southeast Delco Gifted Students Take Two Trophies at SeaPerch Challenge The gifted middle school robotics team collaborated to design, build, and operate a SeaPerch ‐ a simple remotely operated vehicle, or ROV. The culmination of their work was participation in a regional competition held at Drexel University's Dakalakis Center, where thirty‐five middle schools from Delaware County, Chester County, Philadelphia, and New Jersey competed. Our gifted students' hard work and dedication paid off as they placed 1st in Team Spirit & Sportsmanship, aided by Kramoh Mansalay dressed as Poseidon and Brian Johnson dressed as the Academy Park Knight. They placed 3rd in Vehicle Performance due to the excellent gaming skills and piloting by Darby Township School's Steven Williams. They also received an Honorable Mention for their Engineering Notebook. The SeaPerch Challenge is a perfect venue to demonstrate our commitment to STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math). These students had the opportunity to build skills and become prepared to live and work in our increasingly high‐tech world. In addition to learning science and engineering concepts, they experienced the importance of being part of a team and realized that it was not just about winning. They learned many lifelong lessons including: How to persevere in an emotionally charged environment and technically difficult situation How to focus
