"Advanced and Alternative Energy Technologies"
Are you interested in powering your home with “green” or renewable technologies
such as solar or wind power? Then this is the program for you! You’ll learn about the
different kinds of green power technologies, find out if they are a cost-effective choice
for your home and what they can mean to your energy bills and the environment. We’ll
discuss what advanced applications are best suited for your home.
Solar electricity, solar heating, and passive solar installations use the
power of the sun to produce electricity and heat.
In New York State, we have a number of large-scale wind-power farms, as well
as some on-site small scale private wind generators.
Geothermal heating systems tap into the earth’s hydrothermal water
reservoirs to provide heat to houses.
Radiant floor heating places heating coils underneath floor boards or tile to
provide a uniform temperature from floor to ceiling.
Biomass fuels, like ethanol and biodiesel, are created from plant and
plant-derived material.
