A 30-kW photovoltaic (PV) system is offsetting all of the electrical needs at the facility. Heating and cooling is fully provided by a high efficient ground source heat pump system approximately 8 months of the year. High-efficiency propane boilers provide supplemental heating during the more severe winter months. High-efficiency lighting (LEDs) is provided for exhibits.
