Free Tour of Energy Efficient Year Round Ag Facility in Waldoboro
Join Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District,
Maine Coast Heritage Trust, and Midcoast Farmers Alliance on Thursday, March 1
at 4:00pm for a FREE tour of the Maine Sustainable Agriculture Society (MESAS)
energy-efficient structure located at Waldoboro Business Park, 1 Pie Road in
Waldoboro.
Meet the folks who designed this prototype structure and see these innovative
technologies at work: integrated solar roof, solar heating wall, and
phase-change materials that help maintain a constant temperature throughout the
year, and energy monitoring tools. The building demonstrates systems that
reduce the heating and energy costs necessary to operate greenhouses, food
storage facilities, dairies or any large year-round facility designed for
production or storage.
To register for this and more upcoming free workshops, visit
