Energy Solutions
Browse through the links below to learn about sustainable energy solutions and how you can incorporate them into your home or business.
Solar Power
Solar power techniques harness the sun's energy to light and heat the built environment.
Wind Power
Wind power converts wind energy into alternate energy forms. Well-known examples include wind turbines and windmills.
Geothermal Energy
This form of energy is stored beneath the earth’s surface. It has many advantages, including its ability to be harnessed from almost anywhere in the world for heat and electricity production.
Thermal Storage
Thermal storage itself is not a method for electricity generation. However, it allows heat energy to be stored and conserved for later use.
Heat Pumps
Designed to move heat from the outside indoors, heat pumps have been used for decades and can be an energy-efficient method for maintaining a comfortable building temperature.
RECs and Carbon Offsets
Utilizing carbon offsets or renewable energy certificates (RECs) when calculating a project's energy impacts can aid in getting a building to net-zero energy or zero carbon.
Hydrogen in the Built Environment
Technology for both hydrogen production and its corresponding fuel cells have developed substantially over the past two decades.
