The Woods Hole Research Center's state-of-the-art building integrates
green design practices, high-efficiency construction, and advanced mechanical
systems with solar and geothermal energy technologies. Once the planned
installation of a wind turbine is completed, the building will operate without
requiring fossil fuels, and it will infuse the local distribution grid with
green electrons. It already provides scientists and other staff with a comfortable
working environment - and it is improving both the regional and global environment.
