Solar for the Commercial and Industrial Sector

Source: Sustainable Facility (November 2008)
What is missing here is the heating component.   It is a statistical fact that in heating climates, buildings usually use significantly more energy for heating purposes than for electricity.  I.e, the 40% of CO2 emissions that originate from the building sector represents the sum of two types of energy usage– electricity and heating– not just electricity.

Hybrid PV Solar System [SolarWall] in Olympic Village

Source: Sustainable Architecture & Building Magazine (SAB Mag) July-August 2008
The Beijing Olympic Village is now home to Canadian cutting edge solar technology: the world's first SolarWall photovoltaic/thermal [PV/T] hybrid system. Mounted on the roof of one of the central buildings for the athlete services, the SolarWall PV/T technology is one of the first commercially viable hybrid solar systems that produces both electricity and heat energy from the same surface area, generating 200-300% more energy than a conventional PV system.

Fort Drum Employs Solar Power for Air Heating

Source: The Military Engineer(July - August 2008)
In late 2005, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) commissioned a $3 million retrofit program to upgrade 27 buildings at Fort Drum, N.Y., with solar air heating systems.  The project used SolarWall technology, which heats the ventilation and makeup air required in vehicle maintenance garages, warehouses, hangars and other buildings, thereby displacing the traditional heating load, energy costs and emissions.
