A first phase feasibility and design project is looking into compost heat as an agricultural energy source for a combined research and production greenhouse at Miller Research Farm. In combination with the grid-tied 32kW static electric PV system on the Equine Center roof, this project will meet the heating needs of the greenhouse as well as address the treatment of wastewater at this facility.

Though solar energy opportunities on campus will be addressed in the comprehensive campus renewable energy feasibility study, the CEF will support a structural and electrical feasibility study of the GreenHouse residential learning community facilities for a potential rooftop solar array.

Clean Energy Fund Award: *This project will be implemented as part of the Comprehensive Campus Renewable Energy Feasibility Study.
