Turner Building Science Adds More Green Power and Renewable Energy to Harrison Maine Branch Office
|
As part of its ongoing
commitment to Sustainable Design philosophy and Healthy Buildings, on
November 1, 2002, the Harrison Maine Branch Office of The H.L. Turner
Group Inc. increased its commitment to sustainable energy now receiving
approximately 85% of its annual electric power from a newly upgraded
local utility interfaced Solar Power Photo-Voltaic (PV) system. The PV system is interconnected with the Central Maine Power utility grid. The 5.4 kW system is comprised of 36 Astropower Modules on three Zomeworks pole mount passive trackers. 9 BP multi-crystaline panels on fixed mounts were recently added. All PV units are connected to a Trace utility interface inverter. The system uses no batteries. All major components are of US manufacture. Design assistance and procurement of solar components was accomplished through The Solar Market (Talmage Solar Engineering), in Arundel, Maine. |
Monthly Energy Production
| In January of 2003, TBS will also put into service a geothermal well coupled heat pump Manufactured by Trane Company which will utilize renewable energy from the earth and be capable of providing an estimated 85 % of the offices heating and cooling needs and 100 % of the domestic hot water needs during the cooling season. |
