A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Photovoltaic Panels at the NC Botanical Garden-
84 photovoltaic panels generate nearly 8% of the building’s electricity from sunlight. PV panels on the Bell Tower Parking Deck generate enough electricity to illuminate the stairwells.
A 1,000 kilowatt generator at Carolina North converts gas from the Orange County landfill into electricity for the grid. The University sells the electricity to Duke Energy and plans to ultimately use the waste heat for buildings at Carolina North.
None
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
Solar Thermal Panels at Morrison Residence Hall- 172 panels mounted on the roof of all four building wings provide heat to the domestic hot water and building heating system. The residence hall’s plumbing system draws first on solar-heated water from a 6,000 gallon storage tank and adds steam-heated water when needed.
Geothermal wells at NC Botanical Garden- geothermal wells provide efficient heating and cooling. Twenty-six wells are 500 feet deep, four wells are 400 feet deep, and four wells are 100 feet deep. More than five miles of loop “plumbing” brings the earth’s 55 degrees Fahrenheit temperature to the surface.
