Microgrids are all about improving building resilience—they let your building operate even if there’s a grid and can help lower your energy bills in between outages. This episode of the Buildings Podcast covers action steps you can take toward a microgrid today, plus a heads up about structural and geological pitfalls that can affect your ability to install on-site renewables as part of the microgrid.
