RETScreen International is a unique decision support tool developed with the contribution of numerous experts from government, industry, and academia. Over the coming months, Leonardo ENERGY will be publishing a series of webcasts on energy project analysis using RETScreen.

	RETScreen 4: Overview and Introduction RETScreen 4, the latest edition of the RETScreen software, helps evaluate whether or not a proposed clean energy project makes sense and is worth further consideration. This presentation introduces RETScreen 4, highlights its new features and describes the RETScreen approach to project analysis. View webcast (32 minutes) En français
	Energy Efficiency This module introduces the energy efficiency project capabilities of RET Screen 4. View webcast (26 minutes) En français
	Passive Solar Heating Project Analysis This module discusses the heating of buildings using the solar gains available through high-performance windows. View webcast (32 minutes) En français
	Ground-Source Heat Pump Project Analysis This module discusses systems that provide heat by extracting it from the ground or a body of water and provide cooling by reversing this process. Such systems are also known as geothermal heat pumps, earth energy systems or GeoExchange systems. View webcast (43 minutes) En français
