For the second year, the NECA Student Chapter at Penn State is competing in the Green Energy Challenge competition.

The Green Energy Challenge provides college students with an engaging and fulfilling annual event that fosters meaningful interaction between students and NECA member companies. NECA Student Chapter teams are challenged to identify an inefficient commercial building in their community and to conduct an energy audit of the building.  The teams are ranked on their plan for power and lighting systems improvements as well as on a design of a renewable energy system for the facility.

The competition goals are the following:

  • Create an annual event that will engage NECA Student Chapters members in a rewarding educational experience in electrical and energy services contracting
  • Challenge student chapter teams to develop technical skills vital to careers in electrical construction and professional skills in time management, oral, and written communication
  • Provide a mechanism for NECA Student Chapters to create interest in chapter membership and in careers in electrical construction at their university
