Abstract

Ohio State’s Climate Action Plan requires that Ohio State be carbon neutral by 2050, and this means that they must reduce dependency on coal-power. The Ohio Union has available roof space that can be used for solar energy production. Since the Union uses more electricity than most campus buildings and is also quite new, these reasons caused the Union to be selected for solar panel installation.
