What is it?<\/h1>\n

The Green Energy Challenge is a competition sponsored by NECA and ELECTRI International. In January, student chapters of NECA from across the country are invited to conduct an energy audit and retrofit proposal of a building on their campus, or in their community. Over the course of the spring semester, students will work to review the current energy status of the chosen building, find practical solutions, create a construction schedule and estimate, and propose a finance plan. Throughout this process, the team will also focus on getting the community involved and aware of the project’s sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

\"Cyclone<\/a><\/h2>\n

The Iowa State student chapter of NECA has termed themselves Cyclone Energy<\/em> for the Green Energy Challenge. In 2012, a student created a logo for the team to use on our proposal, posters, and presentations. The logo is representative of the team’s dedication to the Cyclones, that they take the project seriously and do their most professional work, and that they are a cohesive unit. Cyclone Energy is a powerhouse of brilliant students who do exceptional work. When they are dedicated — watch out world! — they are out to conquer. It is with reason that their motto is “Go big or go home!”
