October 6, 2010 - solar panels on the White House

While in Portland yesterday, I walked past the 41000 square foot Evie Cianchette building on Commercial Street, where I saw this plaque.



Not bad!


Speaking of building energy sustainability: whether through the efforts of Bill McKibben or otherwise, President Obama has decided to install solar panels on the White House after all.  We can expect a competitive solicitation in the coming months to select a vendor to provide and install somewhere between 20 and 50 solar panels.
