A detailed technology and market opportunity study was performed to assess the viability and suitability of alternative energy technologies for a client with a client with facilities throughout the United States. The purpose of the study was to review each of the selected alternative energy technologies and their applicability to each of the client’s facilities, and then develop and identify a target list and ranking of facilities by suitable technology for further development and implementation. The alternative technologies evaluated and included in the study were solar photovoltaic, wind, fuel cells, and geothermal (geothermal electricity generation and geothermal heating/cooling). Client facilities were located throughout the US with a wide range of building sizes, land availability, and surrounding environments.
