VREC Installs Solar Hot Air System at the Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC)

Solar Hot Air at SPEC

This March (2007) VREC is in the process of installing a solar hot air system to heat the basement of the Society Promoting Environmental Conservation using the sun’s heat. The rather chilly basement area is home to the office of several local non-profit organizations and has needed supplemental electric heat till now. “On the last sunny day we had, the heater came on by 11:00 am and continued to run all day, until it lost the sun. The air felt quite warm coming out of it.” said Karen Wristen, Executive director of SPEC.
