In Spring 2021, ten second-year urban planning major students, Adam Coleson, Lauren Doppke, Michael Grossniklaus, Elise Jones, Kaelyn Leach, Enzo Lundy, Mattew Pytel, Kaylie Slate, Eric Snowden, and Christian Terrell, in PLAN 203 Regional Analysis and Design of Ball State University conducted solar potential analysis for brownfields in Muncie, Indiana. In collaboration with Sierra Club Hoosier Chapter with the generous support from Ball State University’s Immersive Learning Office, students applied Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to study the ownership of the brownfields, current land use and zoning ordinances, preexisting conditions, and then analyzed solar PV potentials using publicly available PV watts tool developed by the US Department of Energy.
