Projects

Fire Engine Station #2

Decatur, GA, has constructed a new fire station that is the City of Decatur's first LEED certified building. Power Partners Solar has worked with Amy Landesberg Architects and Praxis 3 to design a solar water heater capable of meeting all of the hot water needs for the living quarters in the fire station. The solar panels are mounted on the back of the glass tower. The structure has created a clean, modern look with a presence that blends with the surrounding neighborhood. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design; it is a certification procedure developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable housing.

John C. Campbell Folk School

The John C. Campbell Folk School is one of the country's most remarkable centers for traditional arts and crafts. Founded in 1925, the school is dedicated to fostering creativity and community-mindedness in partnership with its local community. It offers weeklong and weekend classes year-round in basketry, blacksmithing, book arts, cooking, dance, gardening, glass, instrument-making, jewelry, metalworking, music, painting, photography, quilting, woodworking, and many other subjects. When the Folk School decided to build a two-story residence with six apartments for students and guests, it wanted to combine new ways with the old and go green. The solar water heater designed by Power Partners Solar provides hot water for up to 12 residents and heats the tile floors in the bathrooms.

National Exposure Research Laboratory

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) in Athens, GA, is a national laboratory that conducts research and development to find improved methods, measurements, and models to assess and predict exposures of humans and ecosystems to pollutants and other conditions in air, water, soil, and food. NERL has worked proactively on its own water, calling on Power Partners Solar dealer Complete Resources Solar to install a solar hot water system to preheat water before it reaches the lab's water heaters. The Power Partners Solar hot water system is part of an array of green power features at NERL.
