In Part 2, we discussed how to measure hot water consumption and hot water energy use in a mid-sized hotel. We looked at what the data meant regarding the energy saving potential of a solar thermal water heating system. This particular hotel uses about...
In Part 1 of the Hotel Solar Thermal Study series, we looked at the main impetuses for the study: rising fossil fuel prices and a lack of hotel hot water consumption data. Part 2 focuses on the study’s methodology. How does one go about measuring hot water...
We are conducting research involving anaerobic digestion and the use of solar thermal panels for digester heating. Our researchers are studying the marriage of these two technologies, with the intention of creating a small-scale anaerobic digester that can rely...
