Raffle Tickets
Counting tickets and money
Ned Breslin Paper
Monetary contribution form the community
Cash
Proves that the community has dedicated to the project
Proves that they can raise the money to fix and maintain the system
Bartering
Could be a sign of trouble that they cannot raise money to buy parts
Can aide in our work while we are there
What is our purpose in this area
Community based centralized system
Smaller family based system
What kind of impact are we trying to make
Community buy-in is very important
It makes the system important to them
Makes it more likely that the community will fix and maintain the system as needed
If the community helps work to build and learn about the system, they will care about it more
What kind of training and education should we provide for our system
Buy local materials and supplies
This is a big responsibility
To prove to them that an organization can help them where so many have failed
To be a successful project for our group
To have a long term benefit for a large community
Sealing the open pit wells
They may degrade the clean wells that are present
Suggest ways to rehabilitate the wells or cover and seal them
Contact the community to see if they have ideas and availability for the project

Design Review
Water Column
In general
The idea is to use this column to level out the temperature of the room throughout the day
What material to build it with
Research
See provided sites from Dr Schuster to research heat capabilities
Many models assume the column is in lots of direct sunlight
Depends on how much sun and heat is available
Size
Whatever will fit in the building
Experiment with calculations to figure out the optimum size
Stratification of the building
Can this problem be fixed by a ceiling fan?
Alternative solution
Small pipe with small fans to pump air in to the panel from the floor
Try talking to the manufacturer about solving this issue
Battery Backup
For partially cloudy day
May be too expensive for the little benefit to the system
How to control the system
Covers for the panels to shut them off
Ceiling vents
Natural ventilation

Large price difference
Adam
Malcom & Bruce
How to communicate with the community more effectively
How to communicate the plan to the community
Meeting with Dr Schuster
Hot air system is the way to go
It is simpler
Efficiency issue
When the sun is highest is when we need it the least
System needs a heat storage material
Eutectics
Large water column in the center of the room
Large but simple energy storage
Needs research for materials and pricing
Design Considerations
Load calculations
Panel placement
Roof
Stratification
Fix: pipe hot air down to lower areas of the room
How do we do that
What supplies do we need
How much will it cost
Fix: ceiling fan
Powered by PV panels from schott
Sky lights
Problem with heat loss
Walls
Still have panels promised by Schott Solar
Research
Eutectics
Alternative Heat storage techniques
Get actual numbers for seasonal temperatures
How much can we elongate this building's availability per year
Make a CAD model of possible design options for experimentation and presentation
To Do List (deadline - after spring break)
CAD drawings
More specific load calculations
Panel sizing
Specs for ceiling fans
Report to schott for the wattage to get the panels
Panel positioning and placement
Mariah
