Empowering Cleaner Energy Decisions

Software & Data Training Course Case Studies
The RETScreen International Clean Energy Project Case Studies complement the training material and facilitate the use of the RETScreen Software by showing built clean energy projects and their related technical and financial analysis. They typically include assignments, worked-out solutions (RETScreen Software Analysis) and information about how the projects fared in the real world.

Note: Some of these case studies are based on documents published by third party organisations and may only be available in the language of those organisations.

Requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 or higher (approx. 250 KB each).
