A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Frost School of Music LEED Platinum Solar PV System:
The North Studio is set to offset approx. 12.6% of its annual electricity consumption with onsite renewable energy via fixed tilt solar PV rooftop panels, rated at 50.8 kW DC (39.1 kW AC). In combination with the building’s other energy efficiency improvements, the North studio uses approx. 46% less energy than typical buildings in this climate zone.
The South Studio is set to offset approx. 8.9% of its annual electricity consumption with onsite renewable energy via fixed tilt solar PV rooftop panels, rated at 20.8 kW DC (16 kW AC). In combination with the building’s other energy efficiency improvements, the South studio uses approx. 27% less energy than typical buildings in this climate zone.
The 20 KW ECO sponsored system on top of the Hurricanes food Court is generating enough energy to offset around 17% of the building's load.
