Those facilities receiving solar photovoltaic arrays are as follows:
UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth, UMass Lowell, Massasoit C.C., North Shore C.C., Salem State, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Milton
Massasoit’s 5 arrays will be as follows:
• Student Center: 110-130 kW (roof array)
• Liberal Arts Building: 75-90 kW (roof array)
• Humanities Building: 67-82 kW (roof array)
• Technology Building: 45-55 kW (roof array)
• Science Building: 45-55 kW (roof array)
It was our hope that the Canton Campus would be included in the RFP, but due to the condition of the roofs at the Canton Campus it was excluded. In the mean time, we are working on finding funding for a new roof at Canton with the hope that the Canton Campus will be part of the next RFP for photovoltaics.
The photovoltaics project is being funded through a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs). CREBs are interest free loans that will be paid for through energy savings.
Upcoming dates of interest are as follows:
• Site Visit: January 25 – February 5, 2010
• Proposal Deadline: February 18, 2010
• Target Selection: March 15, 2010
We hope that as Massasoit moves ahead with its sustainability efforts that this will be a learning/teaching experience for everyone.
