Each week, the Chicago Architecture Foundation and Chicago Green Technology Center graciously host "lunch time seminars", inviting some of the leading industry professionals to discuss building issues they are involved with. On 5/1/08, they hosted Joe Gordon's Solar Hot Water and Heating- Is It Right for You? presentation. The seminar provided the audience with information on how solar thermal works, how much space you'll need, incentives, and how to determine cost benefits. Mr. Gordon also discussed how the cost of Solar Hot Water and Heating will likely keep increasing, due to the high cost of copper that is used in these systems.

Joe Gordon has worked for Solar Service, Inc. for over four years and has fielded thousands of inquires from developers, architects, owners and institutions about whether Solar Hot Water and Heating would work for them. Visit Solar Service's gallery to see unique ways panels can be installed.
