Solar Panels on CalEPA Building,
Sacramento |
State agencies are taking measures to reduce grid-based energy purchases at state-owned buildings through cost-effective efficiency measures and distributed generation technologies.
New building or large renovation projects initiated by the state also evaluate the merits of clean, on-site power generation such as solar panels and fuel cells.
Distributed generation is the generation of electricity on or near the site where the power is to be used.
Integrating renewable energy producing technologies into state buildings further reduce the amount of energy consumed from the grid.
