Seaman Stadium

Seaman Stadium is a stadium in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada, which is primarily used for baseball as the home field of the Okotoks Dawgs collegiate summer baseball team in the Western Canadian Baseball League. The ballpark has a capacity for 5,200 with a mix of stadium seating around the infield, and a grass berm stretching the left field line. The stadium features fan amenities typical of minor league stadiums such as concessions, a team store, a concourse which overlooks the playing field, as well as party decks & hospitality areas, and a high-definition video scoreboard, which was installed as an upgrade from the original screen in 2016. Seaman Stadium opened on June 6, 2007, becoming the home of the Dawgs, after the club used Foothills Stadium in Calgary from 2003 to 2005. It is named after the ballpark's principal donors, Donald Seaman and Doc Seaman. The Dawgs clinched the Western Major Baseball League Championship in 2007 and 2008 in front of sellout crowds at Seaman Stadium in both years. The Dawgs are annually among the leaders in per-game attendance in summer collegiate baseball across North America, with the franchise record of 4,558 fans per game occurring in 2023. The dimensions (in feet) are: 330 in left field, 325 in right field, and 400 in center field. Seaman Stadium was built at a cost of $16 million. Ballpark Digest named Seaman Stadium the "Best Ballpark in Summer Collegiate Baseball" in 2023.Construction of Duvernay Fieldhouse, located off the right field line of Seaman Stadium, was completed in 2009. It is a full service indoor training facility for the Dawgs WCBL team as well as Dawgs Youth Academy players.

Drake Landing Solar Community

The Drake Landing Solar Community (DLSC) is a planned community in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada, equipped with a central solar heating system and other energy efficient technologies. This heating system is the first of its kind in North America, although much larger systems have been built in northern Europe. The 52 homes (few variation of size and style, with average above-grade floor area of 145m2) in the community are heated with a solar district heating system that is charged with heat originating from solar collectors on the garage roofs and is enabled for year-round heating by underground seasonal thermal energy storage (STES).The system was designed to model a way of addressing global warming and the burning of fossil fuels. The solar energy is captured by 800 solar thermal collectors located on the roofs of all 52 houses' garages. It is billed as the first solar powered subdivision in North America, although its electricity and transportation needs are provided by conventional sources. In 2012 the installation achieved a world record solar fraction of 97%; that is, providing that amount of the community's heating requirements with solar energy over a one-year time span.In 2015–2016 season the installation achieved a solar fraction of 100%. This was achieved by the borehole thermal storage system (BTES) finally reaching high temperature after years of charging, as well as improving control methods, operating pumps at lower speed most of the time, reducing extra energy need as well using weather forecasts to optimize transfer of heat between different storage tanks and loops. During some other years, auxiliary gas heaters are used for a small fraction of the year to provide heat to a district loop. The systems operate at coefficient of performance of 30.
