Calculating Our Carbon Footprints

ThermoHAWK Touchless Infrared Thermometers determine the total energy consumption of student homes.

CCHS Earth Science students use CEF-funded ThermoHAWK Touchless Infrared Thermometers to determine the total energy consumption of their homes, thereby gaining a sobering understanding of the impact of their respective households on the environment. By understanding our carbon footprints, students can then plan ways to be more efficient, save energy, and even save money.
