Pushing the Energy Efficiency Envelope
The NC State Plant Sciences Building, North Carolina’s new hub for next-generation research in the plant sciences, is now a nationally recognized hub for energy efficiency. The building has been named an awardee in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Building Envelope Campaign for the energy efficiency of its envelope, or exterior, which was designed to exceed efficiency by 20% over code using emerging high-performance envelope technologies.
