Buildings or developments that display best practice outcomes in energy efficiency, are powered by renewable energy, and as such have been verified and certified as "net zero energy and/or carbon" projects.
This project serves as the first Zero Net Energy office in San Francisco. The full renovation included upgrading of mechanical systems, and structural upgrades allowed for the installation of a rooftop photovoltaic array with the capacity to provide enough energy over the course of one year to offset any draw of electricity from the grid that the building may have. The building uses lighting strategies including solar tubes, skylights with dynamic glazing, and lighting sensors to improve the quality of access of daylight throughout the entirety of the building.
