June-mid-August 2019, a beta prototype was tested during the heat of SUMMER ... with amazing RESULTS (below)
2020 goal: Construct a Tiny Home on wheels based on a French model now touring the world. Build a Tiny Home Community **
** 2021: 20-25 / acre 95% off-grid with club house, vegetable / flower gardens for teachers, first responders, etc. on slabs, 1 or 2 bedroom based on homes for Veterans in Phoenix AZ - I lived in one (October 2018)
Summary of results (partial) - 2019
HS: Liberty 27%, Kettle Run 11%, Fauquier 7.5%
MS: Marshall 24%, Cedar Lee 21%, Auburn 14%
ES: Coleman 30%, Ritchie 24%, Brumfield 18%, Bradley 21%, Miller 14%, Walter 18%, Smith 19%, Pierce 5%, Greenville 2%, Pearson 9%
These schools increased energy usage June to July 2019 (we know why):
MS: Taylor +2%, Warrenton +35%, ES Thompson +7%, SEAS +4%
Excluding increased usage, monthly savings = $26025

WE are ALL unique. Buildings are too. Similar townhouses use different amounts of energy based on eco-characteristics, occupants, age, lifestyles, topography, season, maintenence, shade, envelope ...
ES.T is the pleasant result of a lifetime of effort by many people. Recognizing them is important. Feel free to share your unique background as we continue our eco-journey together. We should ALL be saving energy!
Fauquier contributors are recognized elsewhere in this, and our other websites, such as FCPS FHS SEA/S EXPO in 2014 at Fauquier HS led by Charlene Root, teacher.
These few paragraphs recognize just my own families eco-efforts (RIP)
To the left is my dear brother "Tone" who passed May 21 2015 at Hospice In The Weald, Kent, England. He tested our prior websites and contributed unique European data, perspectives, and case studies.
