volunteers needed for solar house heating project
20 nov 1996
we are 100% solar-heating a 10x12' cabin at the non-profit evansburg youth 
hostel this winter, by adding-on some sunspaces and thermal storage. the
hostel (eburgayh@aol.com) is a very nice and quiet and inexpensive place to
stay, located in pennsylvania's evansburg state park, which is about 2 miles
wide by 6 miles long, with lots of nice hiking and riding trails along both
sides of beautiful skippack creek. the hostel is part of the hosteling
international organization, and their theme is sustainable living.

the cabin will have accomodations for two people. heat and hot water will be
provided only by the sun. this winter's performance will be monitored with a
data logger/controller with easy help menus and a modem, with temperature,
sun, wind and electrical power sensors installed at the site. the data will
be collected and analyzed by dr. paul bashus from the ursinus college physics
department as a continuation of his solar heating research. dr. bashus and
electrical engineering professor rick perry of villanova university have been
working with engineer nick pine on cabin modifications. if you would like to
assist with this construction, no experience necessary, please let us know.
