Project Approach

Overview  Electricity  Geothermal  Structurally Insulated Panels  Passive & Active Solar  Appliances  Erosion & Sediment Control Plan

Electricity  Duke Power (supplier to Salem Glenn) was contacted to calculate costs per year in electricity use

Geothermal  A vertical loop system was selected  Geothermal pump sizing was established with length of pipe and size of pump calculated  Yearly operating costs of homes was then evaluated vs a typical AC/Furnace system

Structural Insulated Panels  Cost comparison of SIPs vs typical homes

Passive Solar  The following illustration shows the location of different housing setups to maximize passive solar potential

Active Solar  Solar shingles with rated power generation  Solar shingles with decreased power generation

Appliances  Energy savings can be calculated through the energy star savings calculator  It takes into account owning and operating costs  It also shows time to recoup costs  An operating calculator can be found at

Erosion & Sediment Control

Savings  Savings per year are shown in the following table
