A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
50 solar thermal panels on the roof of the Sports and Recreation Center help maintain water temperature in the pool. These panels heat a closed, fluid-filled circuit of piping that connects to a heat exchanger. When the sun is shining, the fluid in the solar thermal system is heated and flows continuously through the heat exchanger. On average, the solar panel system provides ~42% of the annual pool water heating. We do not currently have sufficient data to supply the average annual energy output of these panels.
