Our mission, to provide the best possible solutions in energy efficient and environmentally responsible living environments, led Cadmus Construction to meet with Lawrence Peterson Ph.D. - Dean, College of Science & Mathematics, Kennesaw State University and Matthew Laposata Ph.D. - Professor, Environmental Science, Kennesaw State University in order to share common interests with regard to the implementation of alternative energy resources and Cadmus Construction's environmental design/build initiatives.

Both Dr. Peterson and Dr. Laposata agree that our Weatherford Place Project (a "green" development of 8 town and country homes in Roswell) would be an excellent opportunity to gather data on energy collection and consumption. Committed to Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEEDs) Certification, and with a goal of Platinum Level, this project is designed to meet or exceed all the LEED requirements and incorporate water reclamation & reuse, solar/photovoltaic/hot water and recycle/reuse systems.

A monitoring system integrated with data collection/management software and accessible via a website for realtime energy analysis would create a uniquely powerful tool with tremendous value. With multi-tiered and password protected access it can serve a broad and diverse audience. This data collection/management system coupled with internet access will offer:

• Academia - a broad scope of educational and research applications for students, faculty, the general public, as well as, utilities & industry
• Homeowners - the advantage of studying their individual home's energy demands and costs
• Environmental Organizations - a valuable tool for research, educational outreach and
  environmental advocacy

We have established a partnership with Georgia Power and Southern Company that will allow us to share ideas, information, resources and energy. This partnership will facilitate the development of sustainable communities through the advancement of practical, renewable energy solutions.

The benefits of reducing load and managing demand will allow Southern Company and Georgia
Power to continue to provide superior service with less strain on capacity.
