NREL Program Turns Warehouses Into Rooftop Solar Powerhouses
When the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, headquartered in Golden, Colo., launched the Executive Energy Leadership Program (Energy Execs) in 2007, the goal was to inform private and public decision-makers about renewable energy and energy efficiency as well as inspire them to adopt clean-energy technologies.
From President Obama touring the rooftop solar installed at Denver Museum of Nature & Science to Business Modeling for Solar to Hydrogen Energy Storage, the program has yielded many significant success stories. But 2007 Energy Execs graduate and Prologis Vice President for Renewable Energy Drew Torbin has raised the bar—significantly.
