In support of William McDonough Architects. With PV panels and Solar DHW, it is possible that the building will be zero energy. Not including the PV panels and solar DHW, it is estimated that the operating cost will be less than $0.25/ft/year. The project was selected for the 2002 Top Ten "Green" projects by the AIA Committee on the Environment and will be soon applying for a LEED Gold rating.

Viridian's role in this project included input into energy-related design issues, detailed DOE-2 energy analyses, as well as computational fluid dynamics analyses using the computer program CFD-2000 for natural ventilation of the atrium.

The professionals of Viridian worked on this project while part of another company. In 2006 the projects and promo of this group had been transferred to Viridian, and the employees of this group have joined Viridian as well.
