Plans for the Cleantech Park in Georgetown, which include the Cleantech Innovation Centre (CIC), were made public today.

CIC will house the Cleantech Academy, a joint initiative between Holland College and 秀色短视频. Students will work collaboratively with local industry to develop cutting-edge environmental solutions that can be brought to market.

Early design plans include net-zero ready elements. Demonstrating the province鈥檚 commitment to carbon sequestering, the building will use an exposed timber structural system. It will be as airtight as possible, reducing the amount of energy used by the building with passive solar windows, along with planted and reflective roof surfaces. 

The building鈥檚 planned solar panels will not only generate energy but will also be a roof top classroom where various types of solar panels can be installed so students and researchers can study, test and collect solar energy data in real-world conditions. Digital dashboards will be located throughout the centre to show instant readings on the building鈥檚 energy use and energy savings. 

鈥淭his is a thoughtful design that will give students and industry a chance to learn how to operate, monitor and maintain a state-of-the-art net zero building," said the Hon.
