July 30, 2013: "Renewable Energy Systems" Class offered at Santa Fe Community College - Continuing Education by ADC Network

Renewable Energy Systems - Using the sun to save money and "energize" your home.

Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at Santa Fe Community College, 6 to 9 pm.

Learn about Renewable Energy systems for generating heat and electricity for your home. These systems will reduce your energy costs, decrease your "carbon footprint" and make you less dependant on public utilities. We review Solar Electric (Photo-Voltaic or PV), Solar Thermal (solar water heating and radiant heating), "small" Wind, GeoThermal (or Ground Source Heat Pump, for heating and cooling), and Passive Solar (natural heating and cooling). We discuss system designs and how to incorporate them into existing buildings (retro-fits), as well as planning for new construction. We provide an overview of the costs and financial incentives of these systems.
