Renewables and Energy Balance
Renewable Energy Sources:
Renewable energy is generated within the building footprint (e.g. solar PV on the roof), Renewable energy is generated on-site but not on the building (e.g. wind turbine in the parking lot)
| Renewable Energy System Description & Details |
|---|
| REM/Rate modeling shows the residential electric consumption will be more than provided for by the PV array. A geothermal system provides heating, cooling and much of the hot water heating. |
