… and calculating carbon emissions reductions achievable through renewable energy
evaluate cost/benefits of using renewable energy to offset all or a portion of the energy requirements
Provide analysis of cost/savings and recommend specifications to execute energy-efficiency and renewable energy strategies…

Knowing it can be done, let’s ramp onto the Solar Skyway …
17 X
