The Irving Institute for Energy and Society at Dartmouth College has been featured in Tradeline.
This project sets a new benchmark for high performance design on campus—the building embodies its aspirations with integrated active and passive systems and strict adherence to a list of healthy and environmentally friendly materials.
Maintaining low energy consumption, optimizing occupant comfort, minimizing the mechanical cooling needs, and expressing energy performance through design were especially important goals for the institute, which is intended to be a living laboratory for educating the next generation of energy experts.
