They also learned how to identify needs in their community and engage stakehold-ers to develop solutions to these needs. Approximately 23 students participated, 19 of whom had­participated in the previous curriculum. Building on this momentum and under the leadership of a WISER teacher, the engineering clubhas thrived since 2015. As students quickly mastered flashlights, a WISER faculty member helpedthem apply their design skills to create a diverse set of projects for science competitions. Thoughthey had not participated in competitions previously, the WISER students quickly found success

The project economics weredominated by the capital cost of the absorption chiller and the solar collector array which, todate, are still very expensive. A conventional vapor compression cycle has lower capital costs thatcan be offset by the lower operating costs of an absorption chiller installation. Advances inabsorption chiller technology and higher electricity prices would make solar absorption chillersmore economically viable.Running chillers and boilers off peak and storing hot or cold water in thermal energy storage canproduce savings if the utility offers discounted off peak electrical rates.
