Today, Sedric is sick and our goal is, to finish our little teaser video.
The next steps will be to create the final post and check the different tasks.
Dear Ella and Michelle
This is our feedback for your Animal Welfare project:
Can I get an impression of the project in a short time?
We were able to find all the necessary information at first glance and immediately had a great insight into the subject of the project.
Are all steps clearly communicated?
Yes, all the steps are described in detail and the posts are very informative.
What already looks promising, interesting?
The interview, the vision board as well as the self-made pictures are very promising. The project seems very high quality and well thought out.
What could be added?
We would love to see more of these beautiful homemade images. Otherwise, we are not missing any information in the sense that the project is not finished yet.
In your opinion, where does the project stand on a scale of 1-10?
9/10, because there is always room for improvement.
Philipp, Sedric and Janik
Our project aims to address the energy consumption and sustainability practices of ski resorts. Ski resorts are significant consumers of energy, with a large portion being used for the creation of artificial snow. This project seeks to identify and promote innovative solutions that can help ski resorts reduce their energy consumption and increase sustainability, while also maintaining the quality and quantity of snow for skiers and snowboarders.
Objectives:
Conduct research and analysis on the current energy consumption of ski resorts and the impact of artificial snow creation on the environment.
Identify and evaluate potential technologies, practices, and policies that can reduce energy consumption and increase sustainability in ski resorts.
Here are 10 important terms regarding artificial snow in ski resorts:
Snowmaking: The production process of snow.
Snow guns: The machines which produce snow.
Compressors: Compressors for compressed air, which a snow gun requires .
Water pumps: The water must be pumped from a lake to the snow cannon.
Snow quality: The snow quality must be right to guarantee the perfect ski conditions.
Snow grooming: The slopes must be maintained for optimal conditions.
Temperature inversion: The artificial snow works only in combination with natural snow.
Snow depth: Snow depth is important to cover the ground.
Snow density: The snow density helps to make the slope durable and stable.
Wet bulb temperature: The cooling limit temperature is also called the wet bulb temperature, it is the lowest temperature that can be achieved by evaporative cooling.
Since the collaborators in India have no relation to ski resorts, we assume that therefore no one is interested in our project. However, we are still full of motivation and are happy to announce Sedric as our newest team member. If any collaborator is interested in the future, they are always welcome to join us.
Update:
Unfortunately, we have no other interested parties so far. We continue to work and hope to awaken the interest of the collaborators.
