A client is renovating an older factory building to convert into a modern office with open space and high ceilings. They want the building to be as energy efficient as possible, to not waste energy and also to not require as much energy overall (in order to lower electricity and natural gas costs). Explain to them 4 key aspects that you would recommend for this renovation to result in a more energy-efficient building. Please be specific, provide clear explanation related to energy efficiency or lowering energy use in the building, and clearly number the 4 aspects. A company that is extracting crude oil from the Permian Basin in west Texas wants to improve its public image while decreasing the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint) of their operations. You are hired as their consultant, and before you visit the site and collect data from the company to refine your recommendations, you draft a list of possible changes that the company could do that would lead to lower life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. Provide 3 recommended actions from your list, explaining how these actions by the company could decrease their carbon footprint and why each is particularly relevant to crude oil extraction from the Permian Basin (using information gained through this class so far). Your roommate finds out that you are taking a Sustainability class and is genuinely curious about what you learned in the energy unit. They ask you "What's the one thing that you think I should do to have the largest reduction on my energy consumption at home?" Provide an answer and support your reasoning with statistics/facts
