[Committee] Energy use/supply working group possible project

[F. Bottarelli-Bernasconi]

I think it's a very good chance to make something concrete. I would accept 
this invitation. We should just have more information from Fran Boait 
fcb27 at cam.ac.uk and Queens about the dimension of the roof, current 
expenses in energy, orientation of the roof... I would be happy to 
coordinate the efforts of an other couple of people who are keen to 
collaborate with me. I have done a fast research already, most of the 
company offer telephone consulting therefore a native english speaker would 
be useful. Please write me directly those who are interested!

About photovoltaic i think we should advise them to install solar thermal 
which are much cheaper, relient and more companies deal with them. bye!
