Abstract: Two paths exist to mitigate the dangers of climate change caused when humans burn fossil fuels to produce electricity: conservation, and alternative energy. This project focuses on conservation. By tapping a vastly underutilized resource--college students’ boundless idealism and inexhaustible energy--the Madison Conservation Corps aims to provide a home energy audit to every residence in Harrisonburg. In building a mobile app to manage their student organization and conduct audits, this project seeks to produce a blueprint that can be copied by student groups at colleges and universities throughout the world. This team picked up where the 2016-2017 team left off, completed the MCC iPad app, and will demonstrate how their app performed in an actual audit.
