Sustainability Project at Northland College Library

Link to May 12 Ashland Daily News article, "Northland College students install solar panels on library".

Excerpt: The new photovoltaic system, which employs bifacial panels, can capture direct sunlight and light reflected by the building's white roof. It is expected to produce 14 kilowatts of power, approximately the amount used by the library's geothermal heating and cooling system. The result will be a building that is heating and cooling neutral, an impressive feat in Northern Wisconsin.
