As our world moves toward innovative energy practices, one area of focus is that of the spaces we work, live and play. Advanced buildings incorporate green ideas from the foundation up that lead to more efficient and flexible use of energy resources. Advanced Buildings like the Colorado State University Powerhouse Energy Campus are designed with the future in mind. The Powerhouse consists of a state-of-the-art 100,000 square-foot green building that is a model for sustainable building practices and innovative architectural design.
