Individual students or a team took the initiative to identify and execute a plan that reduces their employer\u0026rsquo;s carbon emissions, most often saving their employer money, over the course of their internship. Project examples from the class range from creating employee challenges to reduce their personal carbon emissions, to changes in building lighting schedules, to more capital-intensive projects such as HVAC modifications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe winners of the Carbon Reduction Challenge will be decided based on i) the amount of carbon emissions avoided (whether actual or potential), and ii) the level of awareness fostered through the project. The winning team(s) will be announced at the conclusion of the Finalist Poster Expo and awarded cash prizes for their work. First prize is $5,000, second place is $3,000 and third place is $1,000.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERead more about the Carbon Reduction Challenge Program on our \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.carbonreductionchallenge.org\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ewebsite\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERefreshments will be available.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Enable students participating in an internship or co-op to plan and implement a carbon reduction project with their employers."}],"uid":"27338","created_gmt":"2019-06-27 15:35:02","changed_gmt":"2019-06-27 18:04:35","author":"Brent Verrill","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-08-13T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-08-13T17:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-08-13T17:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-08-13 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-08-13 21:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-08-13 21:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"601505":{"id":"601505","type":"image","title":"Carbon Reduction Challenge Summer 2018","body":null,"created":"1517251571","gmt_created":"2018-01-29 18:46:11","changed":"1525300153","gmt_changed":"2018-05-02 22:29:13","alt":"","file":{"fid":"230999","name":"601505.jpeg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/601505.jpeg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/601505.jpeg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":52860,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/601505.jpeg?itok=fvyeuDDg"}}},"media_ids":["601505"],"groups":[{"id":"244191","name":"Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166870","name":"BBISS_news"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"},{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:Carbonreduction@gatech.edu\u0022\u003ECarbonreduction@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
