/ Renew STL Solar, a new program in St. Louis, aims to save building owners money by installing solar. Renew Missouri is working to bring more solar energy to the region through a collaborative effort with StraightUp Solar and Washington University. Renew STL Solar launched this month and aims to help St. Louis building owners install solar in order to lower energy costs and reduce emissions. Andrew Linhares, the regional director and senior counsel for Renew Missouri St. Louis, said the program is beneficial for companies that have sustainability objectives of reducing emissions. “We want to help people track progress to those sustainability objectives,” Linhares said. “So we got a carbon equivalency calculator that we can help you determine how much emissions you are avoiding, including water consumption.”
