Three innovative and interesting projects will be presented showcasing solar thermal energy on at the building level, small community level, and large district energy system level in North America. The Oakland University Human Health Building in Michigan makes use of variable refrigerant flow geothermal heat pumps assisted by a solar-thermal activated desiccant outdoor air supply. The 52-home Drake Landing Solar Community in Alberta is the first major implementation in North America of a technology known as seasonal solar thermal energy storage. Lastly, District Energy St. Paul in Minnesota has installed the Midwest's largest solar thermal installation.
