EDITOR’S LET TER Kevin Peterson, President/CEO Dear Reader, P2S remains at the forefront of the energy efficiency revolution, working with business owners, municipalities, school districts, universities and others to decrease energy consumption and transition to renewable energy. As California takes action to meet ambitious energy and emissions goals, we’re helping more and more business owners discover that highly-efficient, sustainably designed buildings will save them money through lower energy bills, reduced operation costs, and less maintenance. This is important, the building sector accounts for a significant share of global energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions. In major urban areas like Los Angeles, building energy use is responsible for 70% of all emissions. P2S stays ahead of the market and consistently finds new and better methods to achieve higher efficiency and make solutions like Zero Net Energy buildings more widely accessible. As the cost of PVs decreases further and other barriers to entry continue to fall, Zero Net Energy will become much more accessible for home and business owners. This issue of P2S Quarterly features some of the latest ultra-efficient P2S projects in the works. You’ll also be able to discover some of the finer points of Zero Net Energy design from P2S COO, Kent Peterson, in an illuminating interview. As always, please enjoy reading this issue of P2S Quarterly. I hope you have a very pleasant autumn. Sincerely, 3
