Gwen Strickland, Senior Program Manager for WES in San Diego, thinks about energy efficiency wherever she goes… so as a horse lover, she noticed high energy consumption in barns. As a result she published an article called "Go Green: Energy Efficient Barns" on October 9 on the Noble Life website.

The website introduces the author this way: "Based in San Diego, CA, Gwen trains with Tartan Farms, a Hunter/Jumper facility in Del Mar. Outside her job as an Energy Program Manager for Willdan Energy Solutions (Willdan.com), a major commercial energy consulting firm, Gwen spends as much time as possible out at the barn and with her pug, Hank."
