,given a plot of outside air temperature versus time. Assuming the average inside air temperaturewas 70°F and with further assumptions about roof and wall construction, students were requiredto visit the library to a) estimate the total outside wall plus roof area and b) the window glassarea and glass construction (single or double pane). Once they determined the total Februaryheat loss, they calculated the associated cost by assuming the energy came from burning naturalgas with a conversion efficiency of 80 percent. In the subsequent offering, a service learning project was incorporated. Service learningis a cornerstone activity in numerous courses, supporting the University’s mission to provideexcellent student centered education within
