The 44,572-square-foot building, located in Downey, was designed by recycling an existing 1957 SoCalGas® building complex. Only about one-third was demolished – replaced with a 12,572-sq.ft., two-story addition. Most of the demolition materials went back into the new construction (550 tons demolished and sorted, 350 tons reused). Eighty percent of project’s materials are recycled, reclaimed, contain recycled content, or are from renewable resources.
The H2 Hydrogen Home project is the first of its kind in the U.S. and will include a home, solar panels, a home battery, an electrolyzer to convert solar energy into clean hydrogen, and a fuel cell to convert that hydrogen back to electricity. The H2 Hydrogen Home is expected to be complete by late 2021.
