Solar Water Heating Workshop

Walton Building

Columbia,

	(COLUMBIA, MO) - Solar water heating is an alternative energy
option that makes sense for this area of the country but it hasn’t
really caught on yet. Columbia Water and Light is hoping to raise
awareness and inform customers on the practical application of solar
water heating during a one-day workshop. 
	The workshop will be conducted by Bob Ramlow, an accomplished
solar installer and author of “Solar Water Heating”. In addition to
his popular book Ramlow has published several articles on solar energy,
including “Go Solar for Free Hot Water” in the 2007 Feb/Mar issue of
Mother Earth News.
	Topics to be covered in the workshop include: fundamentals of
heating water, solar energy parameters, types of collectors, types of
solar hot water systems, freeze protection site assessment, installation
issues and economics of solar water heating. During the afternoon
session, weather permitting, a solar water heater will be demonstrated.
	Interested parties, such as homeowners, plumbers, heating and
cooling system contractors and the general public, are invited to
attend. Cost for the workshop is $12, which includes reference materials
and lunch. Space is limited and reservations are required by calling
(573) 874-7325.
