GoalsWEES Vision:
A community that values and cares for the natural and cultural heritage.
WEES Mission:
To Enhance the quality of life in our community by fostering awareness, concern and involvement in our natural and cultural heritage through interpretation and environmental education.
ProjectsWEES is housed in the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. In addition to numerous ongoing and one time sustainability programs offered, we are committed to leading by example. So what is it that we are doing in house to reduce our carbon footprint?
- Solar collectors on the roof provide sunlight to fixtures in the hall.
- Tankless Hot Water Syster: No pilot + no stored water = 50% less gas than a conventional water tank.
- Our waterfree urinals save 30,000 litres of water per year
- Solar panels on the roof generate DC electricity. Inverters in the building change DC into AC power. The "box" sends our power generation data to a website as part of an international solar project.
- Four brand new high efficiency furnaces coupled with a heat ventilator keep the building warm. 96% of the natural gas burned is being converted to heat.
- All the sloped surfaces on the roof at the nature centre are clad in tiles made from reprocessed old tires.
