A visual example

I took a lot of pictures of all the buildings on camp with a thermal camera to see where the heat loss was. Black means cold (low heat loss) and white means warm (high heat loss). The first two are of Longs Peak, where you can see that the new window on left is black (not letting the inside heat escape) but the window on the right is white (the inside heat pouring out!). See what a big difference the new windows make?

                                         The picture above is the water treatment plant.
                                                      The picture below is the entry of Winter.

New window in Longs

We got a new window in Longs Peak! Now 2 out of 4 that need to be replaced are done.

Longs Peak Sealing

Jordan got the last spot on Longs Peak cabin sealed up! Now we will not have the problem of animals getting under it, or the wind blowing under it and causing it to be uncomfortable in the cabin We will also see a savings in the cost of heating.

BayWeb in Woman's side of bathhouse

Jordan put BayWeb in the woman's side of the bathhouse, so we can monitor it. Now we have it on both sides. We can save 25% or more on our heating for this building!

We are almost there!!!

We only have 13 more ballasts to go until camp is completely converted from T12 to T8. The new ballasts save us 43% on our lighting bill. Volunteers Jim and Jack are finishing it up!!!
