Tom Rand on Carbon Cutting Retrofits
Tom Rand is behind the building of the Planet Traveler Hotel in Toronto. This hostel is expected to use 75% less energy that a conventional commercial building. With the help of solar panels, heat pumps, LED lighting and other energy saving features, this building will not only reduce carbon emissions but will make money while doing it. The energy saved from each of the clean technologies is expected to pay for each of their costs within a few years.
Nice work, Tom! Love the basement museum and solar awning.
