Radiant Ceilings?Yes, Radiant Ceilings. Our favorite on going project at the 3rd Street Gallery is now on Phase 4 and 5. Since only ~1/3 of the studio has radiant flooring from when the apartment below was gutted over 20 years ago, we decided to double bubble foil the ceiling at the artist’s request to make this place extra toasty. We are also adding a Lynx high efficiency boiler to supplement the solar array. More photos on the entire project are over on the projects page. |

Man/Mann Made Global WarmingI thought it was a joke at first, but these protesters were full of hate. They definitely got some attention since this was also the day of the Pittsburgh Marathon and the finish line was less than a block away. *Apparently* these people and chickens adamantly oppose Professor Mann’s idea that our planet is warming, specifically from human activity. Despite their antics, this event was an extreme success. There was a large turnout and all of the speakers were excellent. And regardless of your stance on global warming, always consider that legislation supporting it will spur investment in renewable energy, thus helping us curb our dangerous addiction to foreign oil. An energy independent America should be on every American’s agenda. |

Big SnowPittsburgh got about 20" of snow Friday through Saturday on February 5th and 6th. This photo was taken on Sunday and you can see the collectors 55 degree tilt combined with some sunlight were enough to make them start to shed the snow. Unfortunately power wasn’t restored until Monday and our pumps our still currently hooked to the grid. This situation definitely makes ASR want a PV system with a battery bank for the future. Although, it was excited to see the system making heat as soon as power was restored. |
