The renewable energy industry focuses on developing and utilizing energy sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. It's a rapidly growing sector driven by increasing concerns about climate change and the desire for sustainable energy solutions. Key players in this industry include manufacturers of renewable energy technologies, developers of large-scale projects, and companies involved in energy storage and grid management 

Solar power offers a cleaner, more prosperous future, and it is being built across the United States by women and men on rooftops — and in laboratories, boardrooms and farm fields; in classrooms, courtrooms and utility control rooms.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in the HVAC/R industry is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. The diversity of job opportunities and the advancement of building automation systems (BAS) makes the HVAC/R industry an attractive and rewarding career. Building automation is the automatic centralized control of a building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning, lighting and other systems through a building management system or building automation system. 

The green buildings and energy efficiency industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States and around the world. Supplying power and space conditioning to buildings accounts for approximately 40% of all energy used in the United States. In the race to drive down energy use and emissions from buildings, the green buildings and energy efficiency industry deploys a wide range of building designs, construction and retrofitting techniques, and energy efficient technology and building systems to reduce energy consumption while attaining the same amount of useful output and building comfort.
