Will investigate more solar possibilities
Having already approved solar
heating for the I al swimming pool.
the South Hu n rec centre board
agreed this % • k to hear details about
the possibil ty of having the sun heat
portions o , the rec centre.
ExeJ r representative Dorothy
Chapman, who has been
spearheading the drive to reduce
energy costs and take advantage of
grants for conservation implemen-
tatin, sparked discussion on more
solar heating by reporting that the
board could be eligible for a 75 per- •
cent grant on a feasibility study. -
The grant would come from AMO,
the municipal organization interested
in knowing if solar energy 'could be us-
ed in parts of some recreational
facilities.
Cost to the board would be $500 for
the study.
Acknowledging that the board
doesn't have current funds to under-
take a solar system, she quickly add-
ed that they probably can't afford not
to look at the feasibility.
Pat Down said solar systems ap-
pear better suited to milder climates
than that of this area, but Mrs. Chap-
man persisted that the baord should
at least have an expert explain solar
sytems to them. ,
•'Good idea`', responded Stephen
Reeve Tom Tomes, who said he didn't
know much about solar heating but
would like to find out more details.
An expert will be invited to speak
to the board on the subject and Mrs.
Down requested that weather
statistics be obtained to aid in the
deliberations.
Mrs. Chapman also urged the board
to go back over the past five years
and submit bills for energy conserva-
tion work that has been undertaken
and could be eligible for 50 percent
government grants.
Members agreed and the ensuing
discussion indicated some of the work
could include the new plastic strip
barriers in the hallway at the dress-
ing rooms, new thermostats in the
hall and the new glassed entrance
that was erected inside the foyer to
cut down on heat loss.
