My brother and I have under construction a new small commercial building. Along with radiant floor heating we are using SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels) for the side walls which are rated at R27 and 40 inches of cellulose insulation in ceiling. Also, we will be employing 400 Square Feet of Solar Evacuated Tubes mounted vertically on the south facing wall outside to assist with heating the building and backed up with a Hard Coal Stoker Boiler. In our design we are hoping to heat our new building 30 to 50% with solar energy. In addition, we will be employing both solar electric and wind energy for our electrical needs. Our goal with the new green building is to make it a show case for alternative energy and be a supplier of these products including installations and training. You comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, John McClintock Mitchell Supply Company I just wanted to comment on new green building designs.
