Each month we will host a guest to do a deep dive into one element of renewable energy for the KidWind network. Organizers, educators, and students are all invited to join. This month, we will hear about energy optimization from Chris Torline from Trane. Chris will be talking about advanced energy optimization strategies for buildings and his work with schools using thermal storage, AI, and data analytics.
