A reduction in energy demand translated to less onsite alternative energy infrastructure and reduced capital costs. Alternative energy sources, namely photovoltaic panels coupled with geoexchange and thermal storage systems, provide the remaining energy with grid backup. In total, the building has an annual savings of over 3.7 million kilowatt-hours in electricity. That’s enough electricity to power 413 homes. Client commitment, innovative design, an experienced team and advanced software were pivotal to achieving Net Zero and LEED Platinum on a project of this size. 
