Steve Pyde monitors the design and performance of passive solar homes with electric backup heating systems. Pam McKeever is working to find out how cost effective waste heat recovery systems are for residences and commercial buildings. Tom Nesmith is testing active solar systems on new homes to see if these systems can be made both simple and cost effective. Steve Albright is finding out whether wind-generation systems are going to prove cost effective in isolated regions of the state. John Noble is monitoring the application of solar and conservation techniques to commercial buildings. Dave Summers is measuring how currently available solar hot water systems work on new homes and retrofit to existing residences. They're all PNM engineers . Their job is to evaluate new energy and conservation sources. Are they cost effective? Are they safe? What impact will they have on electric demand and when will the demand occur? How can they benefit the customer? The engineers' research is on techno logy's leading edge. They apply that research every day. helping PNM's residential and commercial customers interested in waste heat recovery. wind energy. photovoltaic or various solar systems. You, too, can find out from PNM how cost effective your system will be-before you build it For information or assistance on any similar project, call the PNM EnergyUne. 1-800-432-6881. ~ PUBUC SERVICE COfv1PANY OF NEW fv1EXICO November-December 1981 L.... -_-- - -. - - -- - - --- --- - -- NAWIC SCHEDULES 1982 ANNUAL CONVENTION & TRADE SHOW in progress, disseminate completed IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO research, and to make available out Th e Nati onal Associati on of Women in Construction (NAWI C) has of print publications by affiliated scheduled its 27th Ann ual Convention and 1st Ann ual Trade Show, authors.
