Routledge Author Oversees Solar Meadow Project
Edinburgh College has shown off its green credentials with the installation of more than 2,500 photo-voltaic panels across five-acres on its Midlothian campus in Dalkeith. The Solar Meadow will cut the college's fuel bills and provide a fully functioning stomping ground for engineering students to further research the effects (and effectiveness) of solar power.
Routledge author, Professor Steve Tinsley, was the project manager and as such, we’ve been able to interview him about the hows, highs and lows, of the project, as well as get a few helpful hints as to how businesses can implement their own environmental management systems. Why not take a look here at what he’s had to say?
