Comment on Microfarm Design Feedback Session by tsmith

Hi Molly! Thanks for your interest. The initial feedback session was just for students and faculty for now, but I expect that as the plans get revised and finalized, there may be a time when it is shared to the broader Harley community. We’ll keep you posted!

Hi – I am a Harley mom. Daughters Lola (10th grade), Lucy (8th grade) and my husband (their dad) live on a sma scale farm in Livingston County. I would’ve liked to have known about this presentation. Please include me on any future discussions/ presentations.
Thanks!
Molly

I think there are a few jars left. Please email Ja’Daiza Johnson directly (jjohnson@harleyschool.org), as she was in charge of the inventory. Good luck!

Is there any more honey for sale?

What a great way to tie nature and literature. Love Michael Frank’s close photo of the bees. Love that we have hives producing honey at Harley.

i was thinking our first pilot could be in Mrs. Prister or your office since it’s a game for 4 players. I hope to play it when we come back from break. The game is not finished, but it is finished enough for some pilot playing

Please let Mrs. Prister and me know when you’re going to introduce your game into classrooms! I can video the process for you, and we’d love to see your efforts!

Comment on Energy use during “net zero week trial 1″ by Christopher Costanza

Don’t forget to make use of shading and ventilation of windows and skylights. In winter, on sunny days, you want the solar blackout shades open to let in solar heat gain, but close them at night to prevent radiative heat loss. As the days get warmer, programming the skylights to vent at night prior to warm foretasted days will precool the 3rd floor and limit energy use of VRF cooling.

Mr. Ghory, great questions. The cool thing is that we can investigate by circuit to see what happened to raise it. We also have a weather station that is collecting data. If I remember correctly, it was pretty cold on Thursday. It’s definitely fascinating that Friday had more solar energy output than the four previous days combined. We are excited to see how much net energy we can gain this summer with the high solar output and the purposeful conservation of energy by turning computers and lights off when we are not using them. We also need to begin to utilize the solar chimneys to ease the use of our VRF system. Thanks for the feedback.
