Stacks+Joules NYC students analyze data from Chicago Public School (CPS) buildings, identifying performance issues, reporting them to CPS, and monitoring change in performance as issues are resolved.
The “Ready to Resolve” program is a partnership between Stacks+Joules, Resolute, and CPS designed to help Stacks+Joules students learn—through hands-on instruction and guidance—how to use modern technology and data to understand, diagnose, and improve building performance in an actual facility setting.
