Toulouse Agenda 21

By Owen on March 8, 2008

Tweet This

I have also been reading this blog, Agenda 21 Toulouse. It is in French but if you are at least at the advanced beginner level I think, I may be wrong, that you can read this. It is a listing of all things remotely “green” happening in Toulouse. It is administered by the Mairie, city hall, so the writing is sort of newsy in style but for me to read and comprehend it is great. I use it to read and translate for ideas about what to cover on this blog. Here is an excerpt of an article about solar panels.

Toit solaire pour la piscine Nakache

illust panneaux solaires piscine Nakache Depuis mercredi 5 mars, la mairie de Toulouse est un producteur d’électricité d’origine solaire. Les panneaux photovoltaïques installés sur le toit-terrasse de la piscine Nakache ont commencé à fonctionner. Ces 400 m2 de panneaux captent l’énergie solaire pour la transformer en énergie électrique. L’installation a une puissance de 70 KW et aura une production annuelle de 89 000 KWH, (soit l’équivalent de la consommation de 22 ménages de 4 personnes).

Projets respectueux de l’environnement

Cette installation, qui a coûté 600 000 € TTC, préfigure d’autres réalisations, respectueuses de l’environnement, de la mairie de Toulouse. Les équipements photovoltaïques sont maintenant systématiquement étudiés lors de la conception de nouveaux bâtiments municipaux, ou lors de la rénovation de toitures, dans le cadre de l’Agenda 21.

Ainsi, à l’école Borderouge 3 dont la construction démarre pour une livraison prévue fin 2009, 50 m2 de panneaux seront installés. L’installation de panneaux photovoltaïques est également prévue dans une dizaine de projets, comme la piscine et patinoire des Argoulets, l’auberge de jeunesse, le bâtiment Job, la Maison de l’Emploi Desbals, des centres petite enfance…

    I wonder how much better les équipements photovoltaïques are now then they were way back when. I read an article recently that claimed they haven’t made much progress in the development of the cells.. I suppose, like anything else, more effort will be made when and if more places start using them.

    I imagine as well. I mean it would be more expensive to switch to other kinds of energy production in the short term but in the long term probably better for everything else. I guess that is the case some people make against the changeover to more “green” sources. It would be more expensive at first but over time it would not be. It is still a start.
