Project Introduction
Project Name: Tamarack Wellness Center
Location: Eugene, Oregon
Installed: 2003
Project Developer: Solar Assist
Heated by the Sun
The Tamarack Wellness Center warms its water with the second largest Solar Thermal Heating System in the Pacific Northwest.
56 SunEarth Empire Flat Plate collectors were installed in a drain-back configuration with a Morley 600-gallon drain back tank, complete with internal DHW heat exchangers and an external flat plate heat exchanger.
The original annual savings that were estimated were 6,700 Therms, with an annual-cost savings of $5,500.
Additionally, the pool is part of a renewable energy conscious facility through the use of saltwater and ultraviolet sanitation.
