The Sustainability Series--Solar Technology--An In-Depth Discussion Including Case Studies presented by AIA New Orleans at the Center for Design on Thursday, May 10.

This presentation will offer an in-depth explanation of solar technology, the best practices for designing and installing solar, and the current state of solar globally and in Louisiana. Attendees will learn about different solar applications, how solar energy systems are rated and compared, and innovative new design practices to integrate solar technology into residential and commercial buildings.

Additionally, this Sustainability Series event will present a case study of a home's energy usage before and after the installation of a solar panel system, substantiated by pictures, videos, and online monitoring data.
