A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Solar:
NAU has a 163 kW photovoltaic farm on its south campus.
The system was donated by APS provides up to 20 percent of the electricity for the LEED Platinum Applied Research and Development (ARD) building. The system was down for part of 2013 so our "energy generated" MMBtu is a conservative estimate.
Wind:
NAU has a 2.4 kW SkyStream wind turbine turbine next to the ARD building.
None
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
ARD's building solar thermal pre-heats water for kitchen and bathroom sinks.
At the Health and Learning Building 70 percent of the domestic hot water is provided by 102 solar thermal panels on the building's roof. This renewable energy source exceeds six percent of the total building energy usage.
None
