100 Old Mason Farm Road
Chapel Hill, NC
This became the first public building in North Carolina to earn LEED Platinum Certification in 2010. The building features advanced daylighting strategies, a geothermal heating and cooling system, photovoltaic panels, and local building materials. The permeable parking lot captures stormwater.
The 84 photovoltaic panels cover the south-facing roof and generate renewable energy that feeds into a dual metering system. These panels capture solar energy and generate 20% or more of the power used in the building. The 34 geothermal wells cool and heat the building.
