AI Summary
- Georgia House Resolution encouraging local boards of education and schools to consider installing renewable energy systems to provide students with on-site educational opportunities about real-world energy issues
- Renewable energy systems in schools serve a dual purpose: contributing to the school's energy needs while functioning as an educational resource for students and raising community awareness of renewable energy's value
- Identifies three primary areas where new and existing school buildings can be made more energy efficient: lighting systems and controls, mechanical systems (heating, cooling, ventilating, water heating), and the building envelope (walls, floor, roof)
- Notes that new school facilities can be designed to incorporate renewable energy systems from the outset or retrofitted later with minimal increase in building cost
- Non-binding resolution sponsored by Representative Drenner of the 85th District; carries no mandate or funding mechanism
