Page 2 www.alaskasolartour.org Welcome Energy is the fuel that drives our modern society and for the remote north an essential component of life. The free abundant renewable clean energy sources from earth provide all the energy we will ever need. The technology to harness these sources of energy have in the last couple of years improved in quality and come WAY down in price. This, along with limited federal in- centive programs, creates an economic opportunity to invest in building a clean energy economy. The National Solar Tour was created to highlight those homes and businesses that had not only harnessed the sun but the wind and other strategies for smart energy management and generation. The Fairbanks Solar Tour was started as part of the Alaska movement to join the national tour on October 6th. It is an opportunity for you to check out some of the latest innovation in technology. To speak with homeowners about the pros and cons of their experience and speak with contractors about prices and ideas for your project. The Fairbanks event is a self directed tour featuring home and business sites in our community that showcase select installations of Solar Thermal, PV (Photovoltaic), and other Renewable Energy and Green building technologies. No registration required. Get a carload of friends to visit a few of your neighbors' open house sites. Join us in tribute to these trail blazers who have ventured out ahead of the crowd using a cleaner, safer, and renewable source of energy. Find out how your neighbors are trimming their energy bills, generating their own electricity, and changing the world by living sustainably. This is a free educational service brought to you by members of our commu- nity, the Alaska Center for Appropriate Technology (ACAT), the American Solar Energy Society, local sustainability groups, and our sponsors.

The system was commissioned in October 2010. Whirlwind Solar Energy Systems is an amorphous BIPV (Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic) that is installed directly onto standing seam roof panels. It is also known as a Laminate Solar Panel or a "Peel and Stick" Solar Panel. The Solar Energy system is applied directly onto the metal roof and then connected to the combiner box. The thin film “Peel and Stick” Solar panels then convert solar radiation or sunlight into DC electricity. The inverter changes the DC electricity into AC electricity so it can be readily used in the facility. The electric panel then distributes the AC electricity throughout the building to and from the utility grid. The cost was initially $8,000 per kilowatt, however, the pricing has dropped to nearly half and the efficiency has increased significantly in the years since. CHLUPP HOME (pg 27) -Sunrise Home ‐A Passiv Haus at Latitude 64- The home is super insulated with over 12 tons of cellulose and heated by a 480 SF solar thermal system with an internal 5000 Gal annual heat stor- age tank and a custom masonry heater. There is no conventional fossil fuel source or backup heat. The home features many prototype designs and ideas from the mass loaded foundation system to the diffusion open wall system without a typical vapor barrier. The home was specifically de- signed to utilize passive solar heat gain as much as possible while main- taining a comfortable indoor temperature. Besides superinsulation, the home features many Green Building tech- niques from VOC free adhesives, paints and stains to dual flush toilets and high efficiency appliances. Local materials were used as much as possible during construction and the natural decor creates a connec- tion between the indoors and the outdoors, creating a feeling of 'home". Air filtration with proper ventilation creates a healthy indoor climate. All the systems are networked and integrated with a smart panel which allows for remote monitoring and interaction with the homes systems. Key elements-The 5.76 kW photovoltaic (PV) system brings the home to a zero energy building. The PV system was built in two sections with 12 panels mounted on the roof and 12 mounted on a pole. Slab at R‐63 with 180 tons of insulated internal mass for passive and active heat storage; Walls at R‐75 dense packed cellulose; Roof at R‐115 blown‐in cellulose in cold attic truss; Windows glazed for maximum solar heat gain coefficient on all south facing glassing, no windows due north; Thermal shutters from R‐20 to R‐40 on all windows; Ventilation air is preheated by a German HRV Zehnder ComfoAir 350 in combination with a comfond 400 LF ground loop.
