Energy Alternatives: The energy alternative that is growing exponentially across the globe is solar electric systems, specifically Photovoltaic or PV solar systems.

There are other energy alternatives besides solar now available including: wind energy systems, solar thermal systems, fuel cells, hydro power, and more. These energy alternatives are discussed in the GBDKit Guidebook and Workbook, including diagrams and comparisons.

You can use the GBDKit wall/display page to stimulate discussion about these energy alternatives plus others to consider during your design charrette.
