Hello Solar Energy Enthusiast!

Do you own, or does someone close to you own, an alternative energy home?

Solar Nova Scotia is building an online inventory of alternative energy 
projects, to raise awareness of alternative energy and show that 
beautiful and functional houses can be built here.  It will be a public 
resource, searchable in a variety of ways.

At the moment we have a demonstration database; when that's done we'll 
get some funding to build the real thing.

To round out the proposal it will be very useful to have some real data 
in the demo database.  That's where you come in.

To enter a home in the database, there are several classes of things I 
need from you: 
 - facts about the home: size, bedrooms, bathrooms, insulation,
   cost, value, site &c
 - description of the alternative energy systems: solar collectors, how
   the passive elements work, other active components, windmill, etc.
 - facts about the external energy consumption of the home
 - photographs of the home and preferably any of the systems in it

It will probably take you about 20 minutes to fill out the form on a web 
page and submit it.  The photos can be done digitally or you can get me 
prints and I can scan them.

If you can submit a home to the demonstration database, please write 
back.

Thanks very much!
