Sun Peaks Resort Municipality makes the first step toward the efficient and sustainable energy use.
Monday July 9, 2012 the work begins on the first phase of the Sun Peaks Fire Hall facility upgrade. It involves upgrade of the office building with the state-of-the-art high-efficiency air-to-air system, which can work in reversible mode. It provides heating in winter and cooling in summer consuming up to 3 times less electricity than currently used electrical baseboard heaters and conventional wall-mounted air-conditioning units. Automatically maintaining comfortable temperature and performing constant air circulation, the system provides a healthy environment in the building. The "intelligent eye" feature of the system reduces the level of heating or cooling when no occupancy detected in the building, and automatically brings it back to the preset level when the occupancy is detected.
The next part of the planned upgrade is installation of the solar thermal system to provide hot water needs for the facility. It will include space-age vacuum tube efficient solar UV collector technology which will practically eliminate the need for the electric boiler, which will be kept as a back-up only.
Stay tuned for further updates !
