Witnessing that people in salt-tolerant areas lack of fresh water, MSc Lam - Can Tho College of Economics and Technology and colleagues tried to make a simple distillation model using solar heat.

Imagine if your shirt or dress could release heat to keep you warm during the winter months.

Richard MacLellan, Halifax Regional Municipality’s SEMO Manager (Sustainable Environment Management Office) remarked that adopting solar heating technology was a good cost- effective proposition. As the demand for hot water was very high in the building, the opportunity for savings by decreasing the operating costs in the facility was also huge. He mentioned that they would continue their exploration to discover the most promising and innovative renewable technology that could be used in the projects.
