Iroquois High School students conducted research projects throughout the year. They were fortunate for the presence of the Green Schools Resource Center in their school library. Thanks to the efforts of the Green Schools team librarian, the library's resource center helped all Iroquois students acquire pertinent knowledge on topics such as energy production, consumption, and conservation. STEM uses the school building to train high school students to evaluate energy use and misuse in buildings. The team then presents their recommendations to school leadership on behavioral and cost-effective equipment changes to increase energy efficiency.
STEM students plan to continue auditing district, and eventually community buildings.
The program in Iroquois has been so successful the school has continued the program and brought in new auditing trainees.
