Yet another day missed.... i think. Blogpost +6

Our group is so LUCKY! You know why? because out of twelve groups to choose from, our group was chosen to speak first.... yay.... but most of it is due to the fact that six of the groups all had a similar topic, which was Akahi, so they were all grouped together in the second half of the presentation times. In other news, the paper we have to finish is due on monday. I'll admit that I'm kind of scared of this paper because i don't know what i'm supposed to be contributing to it, and when i do type something it gets corrected. You can find me on Google Docs on sunday, however, trying to do all i can to fix the paper. 


More Background information on our project: 
Since 2007, energy use has declined by 4% in spite of increased campus use and increased square footage of facilities. This is because punahou invested money into energy efficient technology.Punahou uses photovoltaic panels which are placed on the surfaces of the roofs of five existing buildings. After projects in 2008 and 2010, PV-generated energy increased from 0% to 12% of power requirements. Other everyday use buildings use energy efficient systems. The Flanders Dance Pavilion was built with a solar power lighting system and large fan natural cooling system. The same fan system was installed in a renovation of Hemmeter Field house along with energy-efficient lighting. All Lighting fixtures across campus have been changed out for energy-efficient bulbs, and a major refitting of the lighting system in Dillingham Hall reduced energy demands.
Kamehameha Schools is involved in the North Shore Plan, which has a part in energy efficiency. This pland helped to restore the Loko Ea fishpond, do agriculture water system improvements, and start development of alternative energy including solar, wind and hydro, improvements to commercial areas in Haleiwa Town and residential areas.
