![Site d'énergie solaire: Place where you can see solar panels, passive solar examples and/or get information about renewable energy. Includes buildings, organizations, training programs, solar energy shops and contractors, government and utility company sites.

![Alimentation Bio/Locale: Food grown close to where it is consumed, reducing shipping impacts and increasing freshness. Organic food is grown without pesticides (biocides), genetic modification or synthetic fertilizers. Minimally processed, with no chemicals or waxes added after harvesting. May include fair trade or direct trade practices. Alimentation Bio/Locale](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_3.gif)
![Site d'énergie géothermique: Site où un échange géothermique est utilisé sous terre pour chauffer et refroidir les bâtiments, les ménages, l'eau de piscine, etc. Ce qui réduit la consommation d'énergie pour le chauffage et la climatisation. Sites de stockage de chaleur au sol. Peuvent inclure les geysers, sources chaudes, les bâtiments et bains publics.

![Site de composte: Lieu où les déchets alimentaires, les feuilles, jardin et coupures de gazon sont biodégradés dans de nouveaux sols riches. Peut inclure des projets à grande échelle ou des projets de démonstration, des sites de dépôt, des lieux ou l’on peut acheter du composte produit localement ou obtenir de l'information, des vers et des ressources pour compostage d’intérieur ou de jardin.

Vue d'ensemble
The 22,000 sq. ft. main building has all electric forced air heating, cooling and hot water from 11 geothermal wells using (8) 2-ton heat pumps.
The Community Center has approximately 22 wells similarly installed.
The Bioshelter is a 32x60 greenhouse designed to provide year round fresh organic produce using sunlight and local resources. Inside in operation is a composting reactor for animal waste, which provides heated air into gravel storage and plant beds, along with a separate composting toilet.
Adjacent to the Bioshelter is an extensive “program barn” and woodshop which is powered by a grid connected 2 kilowatt solar array mounted on its roof. The barn has infrared heaters that can be turned on over individual work stations as needed.
There is also a composting chamber that is used to compost manure which produces heat for a raised bed garden.
