Portland Neighborhood Solar Access Workshops : A Product of the Solar Access Protection Plan for Portland, Oregon.
The solar access neighborhood workshop series was designed by a 10 member Neighborhood Task Force, appointed by the Steering Committee. The center of each one- and one-half hour workshop was a small group process using a solar access board game. The board game, or model, contained typical Portland lot sizes and orientations for existing neighborhoods, and a variety of movable houses and trees to demonstrate the potential shading conflicts for solar uses which can be created. The board game was used to demonstrate both conflicts and solutions. Workshop participants were then asked to record their opinions on over a dozen important solar access policy issues. A total of nine workshops were held during the months of August, September and October. Data from 61 response forms from these workshops are presented and analyzed here. In addition, three energy groups were taken through the same workshop process: the Steering Committee, the Portland Energy Commission and a group of local government planners called the Solar Access Network. Data from 29 response forms from members of these three groups are presented and compared to the data from the neighborhood workshops.
