Overview: The Westwood Community Building was built with an ideal solar orientation. The roof holds large-scale active solar collectors. The solar collectors heat water which is then collected in a large holding tank housed in the mechanical room of the Community Building. From this central area, the hot water is the piped via an underground system directly to each individual home, supplying each household with domestic hot water and heat. Each town home is heated with hydronic in-floor radiant heat. On days when the solar collector cannot produce enough hot water, gas fired boilers kick in to supplement the supply of hot water.
