In Case You Missed It ‼️ ...read this full feature on FacilitiesNet/NFMT https://lnkd.in/gvSKN75S The Catholic University of America has now been successfully operating the largest solar array in the metro Washington, D.C. area for over a year. ☀️ Optony’s VP of Onsite Energy Programs, Jonathan Whelan, was the University's lead procurement management consultant. He reflects back on the development challenges that “It’s unique in an urban environment for a project this large to come online." Spanning 24 acres, the goal of the array was to generate renewable energy for the University and the surrounding community as well. So the 7.5 MW array is also interconnected as a community solar program, generating clean power helping the D.C. area avoid an estimated 7,087 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year. And of course, this project effort was developed in line with the University's sustainability goals: 🌳  Heritage trees were preserved and forested areas were protected during construction 🐝 Native pollinator meadows are planted beneath the solar arrays Optony is proud to have supported this landmark project, which will deliver long-term educational, environmental, and economic benefits for the community.

Unless you have been living under a rock you have been hearing lots of conversation about data centers. Here in Tucson we have been having robust civic conversations about environmental stewardship balanced with the need for advancing economic and research and innovation goals for our region. This upcoming webinar from the US DOE Onsite Energy Western Technical Assistance Partnership will the explore the future of green data centers. https://lnkd.in/g4QPDGGN Thank you for organizing Optony Inc.

Optony was thrilled to see that the City of Laguna Beach Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) was recently awarded 🏆 the American Planning Association's Resilience and Sustainability Award 🎉 in California for its comprehensive approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building community resilience to climate hazards. 🌎 Optony led energy resilience components of the CAAP and has continued to support the City on microgrid deployments. The first two of these microgrids are being contracted this year, with plans for multiple future microgrids across City facilities. Optony was honored to work alongside PlaceWorks, Fehr & Peers, Atlas Planning Solutions, Nexus Planning & Research | San Diego, and the Laguna Beach staff and community to achieve such a successful result for the City. The CAAP is a long-range plan laying out innovative strategies for policies and capital investments needed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, such as transitioning to renewable energy, improving building efficiency, and expanding sustainable transportation.
