FRESA performs a general, Level 1 screening and a more specific, Level 2 screening for building- and facility-scale applications. Building-scale applications are small in scale; FRESA currently screens for photovoltaics (PV), solar hot water heating, and wind energy at the building-scale. Facility-scale applications are technologies that can meet the energy needs of an entire facility; FRESA currently screens for photovoltaics (PV) and wind energy at the facility-scale. Note that if your facility is only made up of one building, then your facility-scale inputs will be the same as your building-scale inputs. | | Technology | Facility-Scale | Building-Scale | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 1 | Level 2 | | Wind | X | X | X | X | | Photovoltaic | X | X | X | X | | Solar Hot Water | | | X | X | | Solar Vent Preheat | | | X | X | | Biomass | X | | X | | | Geothermal Heat Pump | X | | X | | | Solar Swimming Pool Heating | | | X | |
