Highlighting High Performance: The Solar Energy Research Facility, Golden, Colorado

Research output: NRELBrochure

Abstract

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Solar Energy Research Facility in Golden, Colorado, uses a stair-step configuration to allow daylight and heat into the office areas, while the laboratories in the back of the building are in a more controlled environment where tight levels of ventilation, humidity, temperature, and light are critical. A unique mechanical system makes the most of thenatural environment and the building's design to efficiently heat and cool the building at an annual utility bill savings of almost $200,000 per year.
