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 35 percent of the domestic hot water is provided by 51 solar thermal panels on the building's roof. This renewable energy source exceeds three percent of the total building energy usage.
We have two innovative solar hot air heating systems and a solar wall system: http://nau.edu/Green-NAU/Renewable/
