"[I]t's like free gas for your car...We were using metal fascia anyway, and there was a conventional ventilation system. Just by adding the SolarWall panels, it became this solar thing that lets them save energy and money. Like I said, it's like backing up to a free gas pump." - Dave Stafford, architect at Thurston Design

"The SolarWall system showcases our government's commitment to address climate change issues... Governments are in it for the long term. It's a good invesment for government funded agencies. A lot of agencies' mechanical systems are beyond their life expectancies and this is a good opportunity to easily tie in renewable energy savings with modernization of equipment. This [SolarWall] project shows that we are trying to be leaders in the renewable nery field."
-Robert Bisson, former mechanical engineer with Manitoba Housing Authority

SolarWall for Government Buildings

SolarWall Germany town hall Governments of all levels are the owners of buildings, and this affords them the opportunity to reduce energy costs within their jurisdiction and "lead by example" in terms of displacing CO2 emissions. Given that almost 50% of the world’s energy usage in the building sector is for heating, any comprehensive energy and CO2 strategy must include incentives and specific policy directives aimed at the "renewable generation of heat".

For these reasons, the European Union has announced explicit "Green Heat" targets as part of their overall mandate to generate 20% of all energy from renewable sources by 2020.
