Solar Energy presentations!

Solar Enthusiasts! Waterloo or Cambridge residents! ES/Engineering/Architecture students!

Two great opportunitiesto learn more about renewable energy technologies, particularly solar: Sunlight is Life! The Path to a Sustainable Future a visual presentation by Steven J. Strong, President of Solar Design Associates
University of Waterloo Davis Centre, Room #135
1200 University Ave W, Waterloo
Wednesday, November 16, 2005
7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Steven will present a highly visual world overview of Solar Electric Architecture using the best built examples of solar-powered residencesand commercial-scale buildings from Europe, Japan and the U.S. Solar Design Associates, Inc. (http://www.solardesign.com/) is a group of Architects and Engineers dedicated to the design of environmentally energy systems which incorporate the latest in innovative technology.

Steven is the author of The Solar Electric House and Solar ElectricBuildings, an Overview of Today's Applications and the editor andcontributing author of Photovoltaics in the Built Environment, a Design Guide for Architects and Engineers as well as contributing author to Photovoltaics in Buildings and Building with Photovoltaics. Articles about him and his work have appeared in some 100 publications including TIME Architecture, Architectural Record, Environmental Design and Construction, World Architecture, Popular Science, Spectrum, Wired, Forbes, New Age, Fortune and Business Week and ontelevision and in energy and environmental documentaries.

This presentation is sponsored by Arise Technologies Corporation,

Inspired by Steven's presentation, or want to know what you can do athome? The Residential Energy Efficiency Project (REEP) is hosting afree workshop for the general public focusing on solar thermal andgeothermal technologies for residential use:
Renewable Energy Workshop U Waterloo School of Architecture,
3rd Floor Loft
7 Melville Street S, Cambridge
Wednesday, November 30, 2005
6:30pm to 8:30pm

Workshop presentations related to renewable energy and energy efficiency will be given by: John Grotheer, President & CEO of Cambridge and North Dumfries Hydro; Terry Hollands, distinguished professor emeritus from the University of Waterloo; and Jim Collison, a Cambridge electrician who has both geothermal and solar thermal technologies at home.Jim is the first recipient of the EarthWise incentive for solarthermal and ground source heat systems. If you're a customer of Cambridge and North Dumfries Hydro, you'll want to hear more about EarthWise, a demand side management initiative to reduce household energy use in Cambridge and North Dumfries.Plus, a light bulb exchange! The first 100 workshop visitors who bring in an old incandescent light bulb will receive a free compact fluorescent bulb. Renewable energy and energy efficiency suppliers, installers andadvocates (including CREW!) will be on hand for informal questions anddiscussion during the last half hour of the workshop. For directions and a map to UWaterloo's School of Architecture, see http://www.findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/visitus/directions.htm or http://www.information.uwaterloo.ca/howtoreach.html.
