Solar Hot Water comes to Ottawa!!!  Seminar on the technical and financial aspects of solar Hot Water generation, June 10th at the University of St. Paul.

Solar H2Ottawa is an initiative that aims to inform consumers about the benefits of solar water heating, while also making it cheaper! The goal of the project is to stimulate the installation of 250 solar domestic hot water systems by 2010.  Sustainable Ottawa has partnered with Seventh Generation Community Projects to provide FREE educational seminars across Ottawa, in both English and French.  These seminars are being supported by a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and will provide interested individuals with the opportunity to learn about solar hot water heating and find out if it is right for them.Specialized technical seminars will also be held for those ready to make a domestic solar system purchase.  These sessions will allow participants to ask detailed questions about technical issues and gain a better understanding of what the final costs will be, including all federal and provincial financial incentives. Sustainable Ottawa has also partnered with Enbridge Gas.  Up to 50 homes (using natural gas) can be part of this exciting, first of its kind program to monitor your water heater's natural gas consumption up to a year before and a year after the installation of a solar hot water heating system, at no cost to you!

The project will be launched on 

June 10, 2008 from 7 – 9 pm. Location: Room 228 Normandin, Laframboise Hall –:
