This session explores how two REV demonstration projects, the Fruit Belt Neighborhood Solar project and the Long Island Geothermal project, each used a unique approach to bring renewable energy within financial reach of LMI and fixed income customers.

Owners are making as many updates and changes as possible in the competitive  world of commercial office space, but what are the tenants doing?  How can owners and managers help tenants to build the most efficient space possible while not wasting time or rent dollars?  This will be a discussion of lessons learned, successes and failures, constraints and timelines along with how the market is changing to better support tenant fit-outs.  Learn from owners, tenants and engineers what the solutions can be to this ongoing challenge.

There has never been a better time for architects, designers, project managers and property owners to get creative about how to integrate solar into multi-family and commercial buildings with large energy requirements. Raising the solar PV panels above the roof allows for more kilowatts while creating intriguing canopied spaces (i.e., recreational areas, roof gardens and green roofs) with both indoor and outdoor benefits.
