Solar energy project at Capitol Complex seeks state funding
The federal government declined a $300 000 grant for a solar heat collection experiment at the Iowa Capitol Complex. Iowa director Stan McCausland said the Legislature will be asked to fund the project, which already has $200 000 from state appropriations. Two solar collectors are tested to compare efficiency, with heating and cooling costs at nearly $1 million annually. The effort aims to determine if sunlight can heat water into steam to power buildings, potentially paying for itself.
