Palo Alto College to host Compressed Earth Block Construction

We are pleased to announce that Palo Alto College will be providing training in compressed earth block construction this year.

We have purchased the machine used to produce the block this week from the manufacturer located here in San Antonio.

Soon, we will offer the course to train students in the operation of the machine and in the techniques necessary to build actual structures using the compressed earth blocks produced by the machine.

Thsi class is open to anyone but it is great for plumbers and roofers that want to extend their product offerings.  Solar Hot Water Systems give more bang for the buck than EV systems.  Come learn about this technology. 

Classes begin March 5th.

Rainwater Harvesting - Design and Installation

Palo Alto College is proud to host a two-day course in
Rainwater Harvesting on March 9th-10th, 2012.  

"Where there is no surface water, or where groundwater is deep or inaccessible due to hard ground conditions, or where it is too salty, acidic or otherwise unpleasant or unfit to drink, another source

must be sought. In areas which have regular rainfall the most appropriate alternative is the collection of rainwater, called ‘rainwater harvesting’. Falling rain can provide some of the cleanest naturally occurring water that is available anywhere." - http://www.wateraid.org/
