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

Ramah Meeting | 3/22/2011 | 4:00 - 4:30 PM

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

Andy

Solar thermal air vs solar hot water

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

Solar Tubes

Cost: appx $300
