In this session, the presenter will set the table with a call for greater levels of sustainability. He then focuses on very practical issues and offers energy analyses of completed projects that shed a lot of light onto the question of what works and what does not. Architects and other design professionals are encouraged to attend. The intent is to answer any and all questions the audience may come up with. Invaluable case studies illustrating these techniques will be presented and explained. This class explains the key position that solar energy holds in the universe of renewable energy solutions. Learn what are the best systems to employ, how these elements can be mounted, how to select the optimal location, and how can regulatory restraints be circumvented.
