  3. Renewable Energy Initiative Mission Statement Reduce the environmental impact of Appalachian State University by replacing the university’s existing sources of energy with cleaner forms of renewable energy technology on campus and serve as a resource for students and faculty by identifying and investing in the most appropriate renewable energy projects.

  4. Last Week’s Vote on the REI Fee “The Student Renewable Energy Fee is a five dollar per semester fee, assessed over a period of three years. This fee is used to fund the Renewable Energy Initiative (REI), which is a student lead organization tasked with reducing Appalachian’s consumption of fossil fuels and minimizing the University’s impact on the environment through renewable energy technologies including solar, wind, hydroelectric and biofuel. Do you approve of the continuation of the Student Renewable Energy Fee for a second three year period, beginning with the 2008-2009 school year and ending at the close of the 2010-2011 school year?”

  5. Vote Results • 1,352 votes • more than the presidential issue (1070) • 93% of voters (1258) voted yes! • Compared with 2004 vote • 500 more votes this year • 82% mandate in 2004

  6. Photovoltaic (PV) • PV systems are solar energy systems that produce electricity directly from sunlight • Costs in spring 2007: • Panels ~ $4.50 / Watt • Installed ~ $9 / Watt • Last up to 50years • Quiet & maintenance free • Produce electricity with out fossil fuel

  7. examples

  8. Germans have the lead in building integrated and artistic PV We are following their lead Solar Design book More examples

  9. Raley Hall design Project Description: • Install photovoltaic (PV) array on the on the south facing side of Raley Hall, on the bank that separates the parking lot from Raley Hall. Estimate 30-40 panels, providing a 6kW rating. • Emphasis will be placed on aesthetics, integrating with landscaping, and showcase ASU and PV.

  10. Integrate with surroundings Showcase ASU Renewable Energy Raley Hall PV design

  11. Possibility

  12. More favorable than…

  13. Southern exposure View from west side Will NOT mount to buildings Landscaping Support from ASU landscaping Incorporate sculptures Need to make it attractive Considerations

  14. Technical Pictures But probably will Not recontour.

  15. Alternative concept
