Summary: There are many ways to be green, but three energy-related technologies stand out for their potential to positively impact the planet. As prices for oil, natural gas, and electricity spiral ever upward, it is crucial for Building Teams to focus on these alternative sources. This article gives an introduction to wind, solar, and geothermal power, explaining how they affect the building market as well as project planning and construction.
