Solar Thermal Savings

Still paying last winter's bills for home heating oil? Then check out the results of a study from the Alberta Research Council (ARC). According to their web site, the right combination of direct solar collection and heat storage technology can reduce energy consumption for space heating by up to 48 percent.
