I went to The Indian Mountain School from 7^th through 9^th grade, while it may seem early for some to be away from home, I thoroughly enjoyed boarding school and had a great time there. Over the years when I’ve come back to Lakeville, having a house down the street from the school, I’ve gone hiking on the mountain and wandering around in the woods, same as I did when I was younger. It’s been a pleasure to see the school grow and prosper over time. So, needless to say I contacted Mark Devey, the Headmaster and Mike Brown Head of the Science Department to see if they had a renewable energy plan for the school and suggested it would be interesting to do a wind and solar study on campus to see what the prospects were. Both were excited for the idea, put me in touch with Levi who’s in charge of their “green” program and earlier this morning – after we had just had almost 9 inches of snow earlier in the week we tramped out into the back fields at the school and set up one of our anemometers and we’ll see what we get. Here are a couple of the photos from the set up, tomorrow I’ll post a little bit more about the positioning on campus and why we chose the location.
