    Green Technology 
     
    In keeping with changing technology and the movement towards environmentally responsible building and energy, the Construction Technology Program is incorporating modules of Photovoltaic (PV) Technology and Green Building principles. Topics to be highlighted include history of PV, types of PV systems, components of PV systems, how to size and build a system, energy audits and alternative (geothermal) heating and cooling systems. Field trips and student internships will incorporate these new technologies.
     
    The work ethic, cross trade cooperation and understanding that students gain will prepare them for entry level employment in any of the three trades, apprenticeship programs or post-secondary education.
