What will I learn?
Acquire practical skills to assess a community centre project from resource evaluation through system sizing, layout, and performance. Learn to estimate loads, interpret irradiation data, check roof suitability, and calculate production with clear, documented assumptions. Develop a concise, professional technical note that explains costs, savings, emissions, and resilience in language that decision-makers trust.
