Venberg Solar Shop
1101 15th Avenue SE
Minneapolis, MN
|
The garage was dismantled and 75% of the wood
framing and siding was salvaged. A new foundation, complete with
tubing for in-floor heat, was poured. Refurbished solar thermal
panels were mounted at 60 degrees for maximum winter heat gain.
Several inches of dirt on the roof provide further insulation and
space for plantings, adding another form of of solar energy this
shop will utilize.
