| Description: |
Sacramento, CA, October 8th, 2009 PGCC has completed the first large-scale
installation of Solar Hot Water Systems at two senior housing facilities. Project
partners Harpiris Energy and PGCC completed the installation of 65 SunCache collectors
on 37 buildings at two locations as part of an extensive rehab project supported by
Dawson Holdings, Inc. and the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency.
The project expects to realize a 40% reduction in gas usage for Hot Water heating
from the installation of the SunCache Collectors.
Broadway Senior Apartments at 5200 Broadway consists of 14 four-plex buildings and
12 six-plex buildings, with one and two bedroom units. The four-plexes were handled in
the same way as cutting-edge single family home construction: a single SunCache ICS
collector preheating water before it enters a condensing tankless water heater. PGCC
used a 98% efficient Navien Tankless Hot Water Heater, the most efficient tankless hot
water heater available, to further reduce energy consumption.
"Without any changes to the equipment, we deployed SunCache collectors in distinct
applications within the same project," noted Harpiris Energy president Eric Lee. "With
its simple passive design, low cost, and high reliability, SunCache is playing its part
to help California reach its groundbreaking climate change targets, with a product made
right her in California. Precision is a leader in implementing local energy saving
solutions." All panels were built in Sacramento.
