Denver, CO, October 27 — In a concentrated and concerned effort to increase its environmentally friendly development, Trade Show Emporium announced Thursday the installation of a solar energy system to the roof of its building, offering a sensible and environmentally responsible alternative to energy consumption for its downtown office.
The addition of a 3,500 kW solar panel system will allow Trade Show Emporium, along with accompanying companies that occupy its downtown building, to offset the current traditional energy consumption being created by the building. The proposed system, which will be installed by Adobe Solar, will be comprised of 20 175-watt solar modules and one solar inverter that will produce an estimated 4,531 kWh of electricity yearly or 377 kWh per month.
“Trade Show Emporium strongly believes in the continuing efforts to alleviate concern for the environment,” said Trade Show Emporium President, Willis Wood, Jr. “The addition of a solar energy system to our building will greatly increase our role in assisting the movement towards the use of renewable energy sources. We envision this system to deliver clean and quiet energy for many years to come.”
According to the Adobe Solar Web site, the system will operate with the 175-watt SolarWorld Modules collecting and breaking down the energy of the sun and transferring that into the solar inverter where it is collected by a SMA SunnyBoy 4000U Grid-Tied unit and converted into useful energy. Trade Show Emporium will use the bulk of this energy to power an extensive network of servers housed within the building.
The sophisticated solar energy system adds to the already eco-friendly list of current measures that Trade Show Emporium implements in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint on the environment and promote environmental awareness.
In July, Trade Show Emporium joined the Green Merchant Alliance (GMA), which is composed of businesses that promotes renewable and clean energy. Portions of Trade Show Emporium profits are taken by GMA which in turn are invested into certificates for renewable energy that fund clean energy projects. In a congruent effort, Trade Show Emporium is a leader in environmental friendly displays as well as recycling used materials.
Colorado’s Front Range receiving over 300 days of sunshine each year, according to the official Colorado tourism Web site, making it the sixth sunniest state in the nation and allowing adequate opportunities for the solar energy system to make an immediate impact on the customary energy consumption of Trade Show Emporium.
“The addition of solar energy to our building, along with our previous commitment to bettering the environment made this an easy decision for Trade Show Emporium,” Wood said. “This is just the first step in what will hopefully be several renewable energy projects that Trade Show Emporium will accomplish in the upcoming years.”
