Sustainable Hanover Walking Tour
In collaboration with Antioch College and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Dartmouth College hosted in mid-September the sixth biannual conference on “promoting a rural Northeast region that is climate resilient, equitable, economically revitalized, and decarbonized.” Organizers invited Sustainable Hanover to showcase some of the Town’s sustainability initiatives, including a walking tour of downtown Hanover and brief presentations at Town Hall.
Inching Forward with LEAP!
Dartmouth Students associated with the Cook Engineering Design Center’s LEAP Program (Learn Engineering Through Applied Projects) recently completed a two-term project looking at the feasibility of decarbonizing residential energy use through geo-exchange microgrids. Under the supervision of Professor Emily Monroe, freshmen Eden Gray, Caleb Frank, and Declan Schilling and senior Nathan McAllister concluded that this form of low emissions heating could be a viable alternative to furnaces fueled by oil or propane.
