Guilford Solar's monthly program for December will feature a presentation on effective and efficient cooling, by Michiel VanderSommen. Specifics are as follows:
What: Guilford Solar's December program
When: Saturday, December 13, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Where: Barn Kitchen Meeting Room of the Guilford County Agricultural Center, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, NC 27405
Cost: Free
Description:
For our December program, Michiel VanderSommen will offer a presentation on "Cooling Effectively and Efficiently." Cooling is a particular challenge here in the Piedmont Triad, as we lack useful wind and are saddled with high humidity. Michiel will concentrate on "passive" cooling but will also discuss the more conventional AC (and the maintenance thereof). He will consider the purpose of shrubbery, discuss such concepts as albedo and heat island, and cover the importance of shading, among other things. Because the topic of insulation (which is clearly relevant to cooling) was covered in our November Guilford Solar meeting, it will not be emphasized here.
