In creating a new manufacturing, shipping, and administrative facility to house its growing business, NRG Systems focused on sustainability considerations. Their green concerns reinforced a new environmental standard for this building type and resulted in a Gold LEED rating, only the fourth industrial facility in the world to achieve this status.
Working with William Maclay Architects and Planners, NRG Systems ? a global leader in wind-assessment technology ? created an innovative, 46,000-square-foot building in which photovoltaic devices, a wind turbine, and wood pellets generate much of the building's electricity. Energy-efficient office equipment and radiant heating/cooling lower the building?s energy consumption.
The building also has a comprehensive daylighting scheme that uses skylights, window coverings, and operable windows to reduce the need for electrical lighting and maximize employees' access to views and natural light. Use of sustainable and low/no-VOC materials ensures high indoor air quality.
