NREL RSF II
Golden, Colo.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's 140,000-sq-ft Research Support Facility II was designed to be one of the most energy-efficient office buildings in the world. The project added an expansive $39-million wing onto the RSF I, a 222,000-sq-ft, $64-million design-build office building completed in June 2010. The expansion began six months after RSF I was completed on time by the same project team in under nine months.
