White Mills Water Treatment Complex
The first part of the morning was spent at White Mills Water Treatment Complex looking at the processes involved with Water Treatment. The site had to be manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week; we looked into the HR/Personnel aspect of this and discussed the scheduling of their employees that had to be taken into consideration at the plant and employee holidays. It was very interesting to understand the Water Treatments day to day processes involved and the testing involved at each stage of the process. They are also heavily audited on a regular basis ensuring that they are meeting strict rules and regulations.
Elizabethtown Community & Technical College
Tes Murray with The Eco House Project including Jane Masse and the team responsible for the project.
In keeping with the mission and goals of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, an innovative and creative educational training program has been developed to meet the region’s growing needs in green construction.
The program focuses on the identification of multidisciplinary components, competencies and the development of a curriculum to provide effective training in green construction technologies; professional development for faculty, secondary instructors, and industry members to increase their skills, understanding, and expertise in integration of state of the art green construction technologies and retrofitting industries; and enhanced learning opportunities for college and K-12 students, and citizens across the region.
The project incorporated computer aided design, construction using green techniques and eco friendly materials, solar energy and efficient water usage.

The working model addresses environmental responsibility and incorporates environmentally responsibility and energy efficient materials and systems. It has been designed as ‘work in progress’, with the new students contributing to the project each semester, and incorporating emerging technologies into the model house.
