The agenda for the evening includes a presentation by Ms. Lacey Riddle\, Foc us Oregon Organizer for Focus The Nation who will present a project bas ed on proven solar thermal techniques- The SunnySide Neighbourhood Proje ct Overview. \;\n \;\nSunnyside Neighborhood Project Overview \ ;\n \;\nSunnyside Neighborhood Energy (SunNE) is conceived as a compr ehensive solution to local thermal energy needs. SunNE is a project of N orthwest Neighborhood Energy (N2E)\, a new non-profit incorporated in Or egon. SunNE will eventually be structured as a community-owned district energy (DE) utility powered by renewable sources that will serve Sunnysi de Environmental School and the surrounding historic neighborhood and co mmercial areas. The project is modeled on existing mid-sized DE utilitie s in Sweden\, Denmark and Canada\, which use solar thermal storage and b iofuel boilers to provide thermal energy for detached single-family home s\, multi-family residential and small commercial buildings. Adapting th ese successful international examples for implementation in Oregon gives us a scalable\, replicable model whose economic and environmental impac t will be tremendous. \;\n \;\nPlanned system components include t hermal solar collectors\, mass thermal storage for heating and anticipat ed cooling\, combining water to water and ground-coupled heat pump techn ology\, waste heat recovery\, PV arrays and biofuel boilers for boosting and back-up. A distribution system of hydronic insulated pipes will del iver hot and chilled water for space heating\, cooling and domestic hot water to the school\, several hundred nearby residences\, and commercial buildings. SunNE will operate as a member-owned\, unregulated franchise utility within the City of Portland. \n\nTags: energy\, cleantech\n\nIm ported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456459 URL:http://www.oregon.tie.org/TGS/EM/viewevent/viewEventPT?id_event=2837& from_where=chapter_homepage SUMMARY:TiE Clean Energy SIG LOCATION:Perkins Coie (PDX): 1120 Nw Couch St\, 10th Floor\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
