Research Summaries
Primary Sources
Interview with Larry Fedor (Director of Energy Conservation)
We set up an interview with Larry Fedor asking him a set of questions about current funds and how much is given per year and through what source. Furthermore, we ask him questions detailing what is the committee composed, how they are selected, and the bylaws they hold. This helps us understand where we are currently so we can see where the underlying problem(s) lie.
Survey questions
A survey will be created for 200+ people and students regarding the possiblility of implementing additional fees to help fund future sustainable green projects. We will evaluate the responses using a data chart or graph per demographics. We have plans to use Survey Monkey and other free survey creation website as well as hard copies to hand out to other classes.
