Wisdom House Retreat And Conference Center Installs Solar Electric System
W
isdom House of Litchfield, Connecticut, recently held a dedication for and activation of 80 solar photovoltaic panels, newly installed on the roof of Spruce Brook Barn. Wisdom House opened in 1949 as a novitiate for the
Daughters of Wisdom and later for their college, Seat of Wis- dom. The original house on the property dates back to 1770. Spruce Brook Barn was built around 1925 and now serves as a meeting space for the retreat and conference center. In preparation for the solar panel installation, an energy
audit was conducted and energy upgrades were made with an incentive from the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund. The solar panels were partially funded with a grant of $50,500 from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, now known as the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority. The solar array will generate approximately 15,500-kilowatt hours of clean, renewable energy annually. This will displace the production of 10.7 metric tons of CO2, the amount sequestered annually by 2.3 acres of pine forest. Together with other conservation measures being undertaken, it will offset nearly 25% of the total energy use of the entire campus. “With the installation of this efficient solar electric system,
Wisdom House is taking another step to reduce the center’s carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels,” said Sister Rosemarie Greco, DW, Administrator of Wisdom House. The photovoltaic solar system was designed and integrated into the electric and structural systems at Wisdom House by Litchfield Hills Solar (West Cornwall, CT) with consultation from Santo Domingo Engineering, Inc., and CL&P. Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center is an interfaith center in a country setting.
The center presents programs on spirituality, education and the arts and has a commitment to energy conservation and sus- tainability. The center welcomes not-for-profit groups, hosting events and offers hospitality. Visit
