Building 661

The exterior of Building 661

Building 661, a low-energy intensity 36,320 sq. ft. ‘living laboratory’ office and meeting space, underwent a comprehensive renovation and energy retrofit in 2014. The building features a building automation system, extensive submetering, and numerous energy-efficient HVAC, envelope, and lighting technologies and features. The energy-efficient measures in the building were selected for their cost-effective nature and broad applicability to the existing commercial building stock in the United States.
