Renewable Energy
Renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and geothermal, provide clean alternatives to fossil fuels for powering buildings. Integrating renewable energy systems, such as photovoltaic panels or small-scale wind turbines, can significantly reduce a building’s operational emissions. When combined with energy-efficient design and passive systems, renewable energy enables buildings to achieve net-zero energy consumption. Additionally, renewable energy integration supports grid resilience and can contribute to broader community sustainability efforts.
