The team of undergraduate students included Annie Gillani (third year, School of International Affairs), Catherine Moore (fourth year, School of Public Policy), Marcus Morris (second year, School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering), and Sinet Adous (fourth year, School of International Affairs), who developed their carbon-and-cost-cutting proposal as a semester-long class project.
The class, EAS 3110: Energy, Environment and Society is taught by Dr. Kim Cobb (Georgia Power Chair, ADVANCE Professor, and Director of the GT Global Change Program), and incorporates the Carbon Reduction Challenge as an opportunity for students to propose energy-saving solutions to a diverse set of organizational partners, reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while saving money.
