Vancouver, February 20, 2007 - The Delta BC based renewable energy company, Taylor Munro Energy Systems Inc.- who showcase their line of solar heating products at this week’s BC Home and Garden Show - announces its membership in the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (GVBHA). The award-winning solar company is the first member of the GVHBA to offer solar hot water heating products to homeowners looking to lower their conventional energy consumption costs as well as to reduce their carbon footprint.
Taylor Munro offers a range of custom designed and installed products that use the renewable energy of the sun to pre-heat and store hot water. The solar thermal technology used in Taylor Munro’s systems is more cost effective than solar Photovoltaic (electrical) products and the systems are easily incorporated into home renovations, new home construction and pool heating applications. Home Show visitors can get a hands-on look at Taylor Munro’s collector panel line and talk to company reps about the company’s products and service package.
“The Home Show is a great opportunity for us to show homeowners that solar water heating technology and service is readily available right here in BC”, says Taylor Munro’s President Joe Thwaites, “ Our systems are designed to integrate with current residential construction practices, so it’s an easy step for people to include green building ideas in their home and garden plans. The company is also launching an incentive program to encourage Vancouver builders to build new homes “solar ready”.
Taylor Munro’s SunCoil™ Hybrid systems include space-heating options, further reducing the need for the use of heating energy from conventional sources such as natural gas and electricity. Greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from Taylor Munro solar heating are proven and substantial. Renewable energy heating systems are also PST exempt.
In addition to its many residential installations in the GVRD, Taylor Munro has executed a number of high-profile projects including the Vancouver International Airport retro-fit and LEED compliant green buildings such as the City of Richmond’s Hamilton Fire Hall and Century Group’s Oliva condominium project in Tsawwassen.
The Toronto based contract energy firm Mondial Energy, has also retained Taylor Munro to design and install the largest commercial residential hot water solar system yet seen in Toronto - a 108 glazed flat panel collector array totaling 324 square meters, The Woodgreen Community Housing system is scheduled to produce 201,961 kWh per year, reduce GHG emissions by 53 tons per year and offset the consumption of natural gas in the order of 32,000 cubic meters per annum.
