Exploring Potomac’s Sustainability Practices

Students in honors biology are gearing up for their culminating project of the year – the Sustainable Potomac Project. To generate ideas for their proposals about improving Potomac's carbon footprint, they joined biology students to monitor the water quality at Pimmit Run using Virginia Save Our Streams protocol. Then, they were visited by either Marvin Muhat, director of facilities; CJ Remmo, deputy COO; or Dyana Conroy, CFO and COO, to learn about Potomac's sustainable practices – such as our central plant that efficiently transports cooling and heating throughout the campus. Students were given the opportunity to tour the central plant and learn how the system works.
