David-
Below is the cost information |received from the NACE inspector (QA Services Inc}.The overall cost will depend upon
Greer's ability /willingness to stage the work for efficient inspections.For an estimate of overall costs,QA Services felt
it was reasonable to assume 10 three hour inspections (2EA for pre blast,post blast,prime,intermediate and final
coating steps).This equates to 30 hours at $80 per hour =$2,400.
QA Services indicated they could provide an inspector for tomorrow's inspection.He will meet us at Greer (Anch Tank
location)at 10:30 AM.
I'll give you a call after 3:30 to discuss.
Thanks,Ce

Subject:RE:Perryville Bulk Fuel Upgrade Project -NACE Coating Inspections
Mr.Hulse,
This is a very exceptional coating system specified and should result in a minimum service life of 30 years,if applied
properly.To assure the integrity of the coating system,our general hold points are as follows:
-Pre-blast inspection to assure no surface contaminates are present,blast media new and properly stored,blast
equipment has deliquescent dryers for the air,environmental conditions are acceptable,etc.
-Post blast inspection to assure proper profile and appearance per SSPC SP10.At this time we inspect coating materials
for freshness and type.We witness mixing and thinning and the start of the coating process.
-After completion of the prime coat,we conduct a random dry film thickness survey and visual inspection of surfaces
coated (prime coat is the most critical).After prime coat has been approved,we verify intermediate coatings are
acceptable and witness mixing and thinning.
-After intermediate coat application,we conduct random DFT survey as well as visual inspection for conformance.We
also verify coatings cured properly prior to finish coat application.Once again,we inspect finish coat products and
witness mixing and thinning.
-Final inspection consists of verification of total system dry film thickness survey,proper curing and visual inspection for
holidays.We generally do not conduct mechanical holiday detection on coatings that are not in immersion service.

Commercial office building.The solar building features a photovoltaic solar array of 96 Trina Solar tsm180-da01 at 180
watts =17.28 kilowatts output.Three SMA 6000 watt inverters convert the dc power into ac and feed it into the
building electrical service.This system is now the largest net metered solar PV array in the Anchorage area,the local
utility is ML&P.Part of the south facade was used to place the panels at 90 degree tilt.This incorporates the array into
the existing building envelope with very little maintenance requirements.Building Owner:Steve Zelener;Architect:
Mayer Sattler-Smith;Contractor:Renewable Energy Systems.This tour site is open from 10am to 11:30am;tours will
start at the 5tn Avenue street entrance to the building.If you arrive while a tour is in progress,please wait outside
until the next tour starts.
Site #2 -Kittleson House -Sand Lake Area,Anchorage -5976 Muirwood Drive
This cutting edge house was designed from the start with the correct roof angle and orientation for great solar gain.
Here is how owners Nicholas &Joann Kittleson describe the solar performance of their 2,000 sq ft house (new in May
2011):"Amazing!Passive overheats house unless we regulate by opening windows.In winter we use HRV to keep
and circulate heat.Our domestic hot water has been provided nearly completely by solar collection since early
March.”Built by Levi Smith of Alaska Decks &More LLC,with solar energy consulting by YourCleanEnergy LLC.The
passive solar performance is enhanced by a large area of south facing Shiloh windows,moderate east and west window
area,and minimal windows on the north side.The active solar hot water system consists of two Heliodyne 4 ft x 10 ft
cold climate flat plate collectors,plus two 80 gallon storage tanks inside the building envelope.Federal Tax Credit of
$4,000.5Star+rebate =$7,500.
This tour site is open from 11:30am to 1pm,park on street.

polyethylene flat plate collectors are located on the roof,along with a 50 gallon Progressive Tube Solar Water Heater.
City water is used as make-up water for the large swimming pools and this enters the facility at 45F.The solar thermal
collectors heat the city water up to about 120F before it is piped into the pool that is maintained at 85F.It is necessary
to climb a steep set of stairs to access the roof and see the collectors.

This owner built-custom 5+star home was completed in the fall of 2012 and is thought to be the first of it's kind to
hold an "off-grid”status that meets all building code requirements for the Municipality of Anchorage.At least 80%of
the energy needed is produced by our hybrid off-grid renewable energy system (by Alaska Efficient Energy Solutions)
harnessing both wind and solar.
In order to accomplish this,the building location had to work with the many elements of nature that are unique to the
lot.The home was developed with an orientation facing Northwest so it could deflect high winds,as well as capture
majestic views of Cook Intlet and the Alaska Range.This energy efficient home has a high insulation value,a natural gas
high efficiency hydronic system and Energy Star appliances.It was also constructed using the "remote wall”concept of
CCHRC (Cold Climate Housing Research Center).The idea of using this wall design was to create a higher R-value that
makes for an extremely air tight home and eliminates thermal bridging.In addition to these features and benefits,the
owners believe this home is the first of it's kind to obtain financing through a local bank (FNBA)with an off grid status.
Off Grid RE System Consist of the following equipment:
12 -Sharp 240 W PV Panels 1-Xantrex XW MPPT 80 600 solar charge controller

Solar System Audit and Design:YourCleanEnergy,LLC Solar Installer:Bowman Mechanical
In 2012,an earth sheltered solar greenhouse was also installed on the property.The greenhouse is heated (in part)
through a small solar electric system and a hydronic/wood heating system.For the greenhouse,we had Anchorage
Excavation &Concrete do the block work for the structure (owner designed/finished it up).
This tour site is open from 2:30pm to 4pm.Please park in the driveway and allow room for other vehicles.
Site #6 -Solcab House -Eagle River -19949 Meadow Canyon Drive
Solcab -The house faces south for maximized solar exposure.The first floor elevation,generated by the shadow line at
winter solstice of Mt.Gordon Lyon,approximate 5 miles to the south,will ensure that the house will get solar exposure
even at the shortest day of the year.The structural system is made up of post and beam with a super-insulated exterior
shell finished with corrugated metal for ease of maintenance and added security for potential wildfires.The main space
of the home is a south facing room with floor to ceiling glass.An intimate window seat to the west is centered on the
view of volcano Mt.Redoubt.Over the open stair are monitor windows,allowing for ever-changing light conditions to
be announced within the house.The interior of the house is revealing its structure and materiality in a cabin like
reference to its location and the informal life style of its occupants.
The 1800 sq ft,home,designed by architect Klaus Mayer,was built in 2000.
This site is open from 3pm to 4:30pm;please park in the driveway,leave room for others.

The glass-glass design on Sunmodule Protect allows better cell protection from the
elements which equates to more guaranteed power in each system.
Sixteen years ago,we were the first to introduce the 25-year warranty.Once again we're proud to debut
the best power-performance guarantee in the industry -our new 30-year linear warranty.

Our new warranty guarantees power degradation of only 0.35%per year -that's half the degradation
rate of a traditional linear warranty.By the end of 30 years,we guarantee performance at 86.5%.
More power means your SolarWorld solar system will have a faster and higher return on your investment.
Of course,a warranty is only as strong as the company behind it.And with SolarWorld's history of
industry-leading quality for over 35 years,our new warranty is rock solid.In fact,in over 35 years,Solar-
World has never had a recall and our warranty return rate is lower than 1/10 of a percent.
