EDF's Green Business innovations review 2008
A lot of interesting stuff in here is not directly relevant, but if you see ideas to pull out feel free to edit this post and put them in the body.
Ex:
roof is under-utilized real
estate, but solar panels present
a high hurdle rate.
Solar power purchase agreements: Fixed-rate
solar power is attainable without upfront capital
expenditures or ongoing operating costs (p. 7).
Artificial lighting, heating and
cooling are used far more than
necessary in most buildings.
Passive systems: Low energy lighting, cooling and
heating systems, which use sunlight and naturally warm
or cool air, are technically and financially feasible (p. 9).
Why can't we turn of one room's lights without putting half the building in the dark?
