Daylighting

Thorough light modeling was needed to ensure adequate lighting levels for workers in the shop

Daylighting

95% of natural light during the day comes from skylights

Daylighting

Natural light during the day augments electric lighting

Natural Ventilation

No Need For Mechanical Ventilation

Natural Ventilation

From the lower louvers on the windward side to the louvers under the ceiling on the leeward side air circulates naturally

Natural Ventilation

On this warm night large roll-up steel mesh doors let the air in while maintaining security

Energy Savings: exhaust air Heat Recovery Units

Fuel Cell System

Designed to Generate up to 200 KW Power

Corona Fuel Cell uses natural gas (methane, CH4), which reacts with steam to produce hydrogen.

Excess heat resulting from electrochemical reactions is captured and utilized for domestic hot water.
