March 27, 2008: 16 4'x8' solar collectors on the roof will heat and provide water for the entire building. Every solar collector will offset as much carbon as the average US commuter car per day. Glycol will go through the collectors and be heated, then sent to run through coils in a 1000 gallon water tank. The heated water will then be distributed to hot water heaters (which will be used as back up on cloudy days) and through the building. Energy produced on a sunny day by the system is the equivalent of 4 gallons of propane per day.
March 27, 2008: Rain water from the roof will be conveyed through pipes to the holding tank on the west side of the building in the Alameda. Here the trench is being dug for the water conveyance line. Most of the captured rain water from our roof will be used to water the Railyard Park, although some will be used for our own landscaping.
