NREL Buildings and Campus Carbon Neutral Stratagies and Results

Otto VanGeet, NREL

NREL is one of the leaders in net zero energy/carbon buildings and campuses. NREL created the Climate Nuetral Research Campus site for Labs21/I2SL. This presentation will cover NREL approach to NREL campus energy stratagies and results including the 360K sq. ft. net zero energy office building the RSF, the 2014 Lab of the Year ESIF, on site renewable energy systems, campus metering and perfromance metrics, and future NREL campus energy plans.

Learning Objectives
