The University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK, - SENEA Project |
|
The SENEA Project presents technologically appropriate energy solutions to the millions of underprivileged minority residents of northeastern Asia. SENEA team members design sustainable systems out of raw materials that are available in the region and priced reasonably for the target community. A primary outcome of the SENEA Project is the construction of a model home and greenhouse called the Sustainable Shepherd's Residence (SSR), which was designed to keep the plants and soil from freezing even in the harsh sub-Siberian winters of the region. The project site has already been visited by the mayors of several local villages, provincial policy makers and representatives of many other foreign and domestic NGOs working in the region. The SENEA team has been invited to return during the summer of 2009 and has requests from six different sites for sustainable energy model projects. |
