(by Eppley Airfield)
You are invited to join the Green Neighborhood Council, Nebraskans For Solar, and the Missouri Valley Group of the Nebraska Sierra Club for a presentation and guided tour of OPPD’s Service Center. Located on a 13-acre tract, the Center includes a 60-kilowatt array of solar panels, a 1.2-kilowatt vertical-axis wind turbine and LED yard lighting.
For its many innovative features, the Center was awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum. Additional sustainability features include: daylight harvesting, ground loop heat exchange, operational windows, occupancy sensors, white roofing material, use of recycled materials, water saving plumbing fixtures, pervious pavement, natural ground cover, storm water retention area, storm sewer inserts to mitigate oil spill threat—and more!
OPPD has incorporated these sustainability features to demonstrate in part their applicability, a benefit for customers interested in applying them in their homes and businesses. A preliminary presentation will also be provided.
PLEASE NOTE: Photo ID is required of adults for all tours.
