small fee to a larger size home. Solar water heating technology, pioneered in
the U.S., is the oldest and most developed of all renewable energy systems. When
the sun is shining, water from the bottom of the storage tank is pumped through
the collectors where it is heated, and then returned to the tank for storage.
EcoTechnologies taps into the essence of the elements to enhance the built environment. By actively pursuing innovative technologies that harvest renewable resources to meet the challenges of energy supply, water supply, indoor air quality, and environmental performance, we represent products that provide a whole-house approach to building green.
