the palm street parking lot/office building uses geothermal heat pump.
We also had guest speaker, Chad Worth (sp?) come in to help us with ideas. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture, but we created 3 interactive components*:
*Note, we are keeping the hill
1. Magnetic Wall Map of SLO County- repulsion from magnets=deep pockets of geothermal energy hot spot
-attraction from magnets=surface pockets of geothermal energy hot spots ie hot springs
2. Display of temperature change underground and above ground (not quite interactive, but interesting to watch as it updates)
3. Feel the temperature tube- swivel fan to blow at your face, then compare when you swivel the fan into the tube, so cool "underground" temperature flows out of tube and onto your face/hand/etc
We need to find a way to make it flow either large scale to smaller, etc to make less choppy and more understandable to get our point across
