At the moment there is only one traditional way of hot water supply to administrative buildings through centralized water supply system, but it s very expensive. The project offers to construct the water supply (helio) system based on solar energy use on several administrative buildings. It will allow reducing the water heating costs and promoting several times reduction of the green gas emissions. Also to widely share the information about the advantages of the solar energy use an information campaign will be arranged all over the country. Besides, consulting and excursion activity will be implemented to invite the interested audience to the project territory to the purpose of acquaintance with the helio-systems work principle and benefits it could bring. Project aim: To demonstrate possibilities of solar energy use by installing a solar plant to provide 2 administrative buildings in Almaty with hot water. Project tasks: - Organization of access to hot water through installation of solar plants in REC TsA and Station of Young Naturalists; - Carrying out of PR campaign to popularize ideas and disseminate experience and outcomes of the project. Project results: - 2 solar helio-systems are installed on the territory of CAREC and Young environmentalists station - Over 200 people will be supplied with hot water - Methodical brochure on solar helio-system is published and spread out among the decision-making focal points - Special edition of Environment and Society devoted to is published and widely spread out - Press-conference on practical steps for alternative energy sources implementation is arranged - Training on helio-system use and maintenance is arranged - Special publications on solar energy use advantages is placed on www.econavigator.com, www.carec.kz
