note: mw^m^^ Victoria ~ Jim 77 Local solar heating experiment underway ALDERGROVE - A home healed by solar radiation will be built in this community, funded by the National.Research Council as part of the federal government's expanded energy research and development program.

The projects are part of a program which has previously funded demonstration houses in Toronto, Mississauga and Ganonoque in Ontario, and The Ark at Spry Point, P.E.I. "The 14 demonstration projects arc a major step in proving the technological and economic viability of various solar heating systems under very different climatic conditions across Canada." said Alastair Gillespie, federal minister of energy, mines and resources. "Research and development, particularly in new or renewable energy systems, will play a major role in meeting Canada's long- term energy needs. The government is preparing for the future use of solar heating by funding such demonstration projects now." Contracts for the 14 homes total $229,000 and performance of the houses will be monitored by the National Research Council on an annual basis with the results being made public. The Aldergrove project will be built by Delmarco Management Ltd. of Langley, who have been awarded a contract of $19,830 for the new housing and water system.
