The panels on the green roof of the Koch Center are the first renewable energy source on Deerfield Academy’s campus and the latest step the academy has taken towards lowering its carbon footprint. As a student-initiated project that was partially funded by a donor who is particularly interested in “green” projects, the panels are a visible sign of the academy’s commitment to environ¬mental stewardship. A complete weather station and an energy monitoring dashboard allow students and faculty access to data they can use to learn about solar energy production and energy use at Koch Center.
