SURVEY PRESENTED TO TARGHEE RESIDENTS IN SPRING 2001:

TARGHEE...dormitory?...Ecodorm?

As you have already heard by now, a proposal has been made to remodel your dormitory.  The finished product would be called the Ecodorm, and represents a growing design philosophy which incorporates energy efficiency and a comprehensive effort to reduce our strain on the environment.

Several students are involved with this project in one way or another.  Our objective is to discover exactly what is happening in the place presently.  We are specifically interested in studying the heating and lightening characteristics of the common spaces: kitchen, dining room, lounge and entry area.

Because we don't live or experience the space 100% of the time like you do, we will need your help to determine specific peculiarities that are worthy of farther investigation.  This questionnaire will tell us qualities of the space that are important to our project.  Please fill out the questions and turn the sheet back to your respective RA.
