 GANA
Announces New Energy Committee
The Glass Association of North America (GANA) has formed an association-wide
Energy Committee, which will focus on glass usage in solar power
creation, photovoltaic technologies and other related subjects.
"Energy is quickly becoming an enormous factor in the glass
industry," explains GANA executive vice president Bill Yanek.
"With opportunities ranging from mirror-enhanced solar power
creation to 'clean' energy, our members are prepared to take the
lead in converting these to new markets for the North American glass
industry."
Stanley Yee, a LEED AP and principal and building enclosure consultant
at Portland-based The Façade Group, LLC, has been named chair
of the committee.
"The energy field is rapidly expanding into architectural glass,
and our committee will be prepared to evaluate and act on the potential
available to our industry," says Yee.
The Energy Committee's first public action is to co-sponsor a panel
discussion at Glass Week, February 12-15 in Las Vegas, with the
GANA Mirror Division. The panel will feature a presentation entitled
Requirements & Potential for Concentrating Solar Power Mirrors
by Cheryl Kennedy of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, as
well as other experts in the emerging energy production industry.
