![]() ![]() It would be boosted by a solar-thermal system, which heats water with the sun. The proposed heat recovery system would be a “hybrid system,” including one “heat pump,” which is what circulates the heated chemical mixture. While manual snow removal in itself has a minimal carbon footprint compared to a snowmelt system, the town wouldn’t be able to drastically lower the emissions from the rec center without the heat recovery system. There’s also the “do nothing” approach, meaning no heat recovery system and no snow melt. It would put only 153 tons of carbon into the air a year, making it a much more environmentally-friendly alternative, according to the study. The proposed heat-pump system, in comparison, is about 47 percent cleaner. This would dump about 288 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere a year, according to the feasibility study. Say for instance the town were to install a traditional snowmelt system, heated entirely by gas-fired boilers. “The functionality and attractiveness of the area is greatly inhibited if we don’t snowmelt,” mayor Ron Wolfe said at Tuesday’s town council meeting. This would drastically reduce carbon emissions on already existing buildings instead of creating something new that requires energy.īut the town seems convinced that some amount of snowmelt in downtown Avon will be necessary for safety, especially considering the emphasis being placed on making Main Street “pedestrian friendly.” With so much money being spent on rejuvenating this area, it would be a shame to have snowplows rumbling through the area at all times, town leaders have said. Square footage calculations may be made in a variety of manners, and square footage statements cannot be relied upon in deciding to purchase property in the Project or in establishing a purchase price.What seems to be the ultimate environmentally friendly option would be to use captured heat from the wastewater treatment plant to heat the rec center and other town buildings, and not even bother with the snowmelt.
