Even though we are trying to do this on a dorm building, the problem of distance of the collectors to the boilers. We are only looking at the feasibility, if we were to design a system that would actual be installed we would have to keep the distance less than 100 feet, which makes a 12 story building a bit tall for the application. Implementation of the system on a smaller dorm such as colby, bell, peterson, fish, etc is more practical in that sense. A small academic building would also be a good candidate. As for models... we will build a small scale model of a solar heating system if we decide to participate in "Imagine RIT". Thanks for the interest!KB1LQChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417244730231023017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474536708422350386.post-41528037389789764292008-02-08T02:53:00.000-05:002008-02-08T02:53:00.000-05:00This sounds like a cool idea, do you have any plan...This sounds like a cool idea, do you have any plans to setup an application example? Like a small scale demo or something?<BR/><BR/>What building do you think would benefit from this the most?CollegeBlenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988353915190667166noreply@blogger.com
