The Salt Spring and Gulf Islands Renewable Energy Conference Issues and Solutions yesterday at the Gulf Islands Secondary Multipurpose Room. That’s Rob Abbott delivering the keynote.
In related news…a community funded project will see the installation of a 20 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system on the roof of the high school gym. The power will be sold to BC Hydro and the money realized will go to a GISS Solar Scholarship (for GISS students who demonstrate achievement and interest in renewable energy and climate action).
And, the south facing campus also had, I believe, the first geothermal heating system on the Island. The system runs under the lower soccer field.
I like the layout of the room.
