Net-zero energy or net zero-carbon - what does it all mean?
My third article for Forbes talks about moving past awareness of climate change and doing something about it. I noted how buildings are one of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, so we must address how new and existing buildings use energy. And this is especially urgent if we want to achieve the ambitious 2050 net-zero goal spearheaded by the UN Net Zero Coalition and ...

Why 98% of commercial and industrial buildings aren’t getting the most value out of their solar installations
Solar installations at commercial and industrial buildings have soared in recent years, with businesses realizing that they’re smart investments. Part of the reason is that solar installations produce clean, locally generated energy — a must-have in a time of ambitious sustainability goals. But not all solar installations are alike. According to a 2021 study by Berkeley Lab, 98 ...

Making Your Energy Work for You
Alexander Graham Bell (the telephone) and Thomas Edison (electricity) were two of the greatest groundbreaking pioneers in history. Imagine if the two were alive today to witness the evolution of their thinking. While the chances are pretty good that Bell would have no idea what a smartphone was, Edison’s electrical transmission lines are, conversely, still a mainstay today. Acknowledging ...
