Large solar electric array, geothermal, extensive
day-lighting, and recycled and salvaged materials on a modern office
building. Extensive day-lighting strategies are employed, saving
energy and improving performance with broad-spectrum natural light.
Heating needs are met partially with a geothermal heat pump, which
circulates fluid deep down in the earth where it either gains or
loses heat depending on the original temperature.
