Pope Francis has passed away at 88, but his legacy shines on—literally. 🔗 https://loom.ly/1gfrfdI In 2024, he launched an ambitious plan to power Vatican City entirely with solar energy, transforming centuries-old architecture through cutting-edge MEP engineering. From agrivoltaics to low-impact HVAC retrofits, his vision blended faith, heritage, and sustainability. A climate leader in robes, his vision is a blueprint for global infrastructure leaders. Thanks to the Pope, the solar plant is expected to generate enough energy to make the Vatican the eighth country globally to achieve 100% renewable electricity. #MEP #Sustainability #SolarPower #HeritageEngineering #MiddleEastMEP #PopeFrancis #NetZero #InfrastructureInnovation
