Moultrie Tech Students Learning New Technology
‘Zero-energy’ house being built in Tifton through the GreenTift program
TIFTON, GA — A “zero-energy” house being built in the historic district is giving Moultrie Technical students on-the-job training.
The Tift County Foundation for Educational Excellence is funding the project, and when the house is sold the profit will benefit the foundation.
The house is part of the Green Tift initiative and students working to construct the house are students in MTC’s Green Building Technology program. Students in the program take courses in energy efficiency, energy audits, renovation and solar power installation and biofuels industry training. The students will be working in the fall with the “Future Farmstead” project, which will be the centerpiece and showcase for the Agricultural Energy Innovation Center at the University of Georgia’s NESPAL campus in Tifton.
