Stanford, United States, North America
Completed · Education · Zero-Carbon Academic Building · Mediterranean · 2024
The first building for Stanford's new sustainability school targets net-positive energy and water, using mass timber structure, solar PV, geothermal wells and a reclaimed water system. It is designed to produce more energy annually than it consumes and to treat all wastewater on-site.
Innovation highlights
- net-positive energy via rooftop solar PV exceeding annual building demand
- on-site constructed wetland treating 100% of wastewater for reuse
- mass timber structure storing biogenic carbon
- geothermal heat pump eliminating fossil gas
- living laboratory instrumentation for real-time sustainability monitoring
