Comprehensive Green Building Study

ERS performed a renewable energy and green building feasibility study for a renovated mill building at Cedar Tree Development. Working with two other solar design and installation firms, ERS designed solar monitors for the building that incorporated high performance glazing with integrated photovoltaic cells. These monitors are intended to transmit light to increase natural lighting in the interior space while generating up to 29 kW. For the various solar options proposed, ERS estimated the annual energy generation (kWh) using various simulation tools including SolarSim and RETScreen.
