Reports, Presentations and others Documents
A selection of links to a variety of documents that offer recent information on Environmental Design, particularly Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
We believe they offer high value information to practicing engineers in the work force and they will also be of use for engineering students working on Energy and Environment related issues.
If any of these no longer work, let us know !
