The Zero-Zero Hero
http://spectrum.ieee.org/sep07/5485
It may be a first: an office building with a net electricity use of zero or less, that burns no fossil fuels for heating and produces no greenhouse gas, and that makes the people working there at least as comfortable as those in conventionally heated and cooled buildings.
This is a cool article about an office building in Northern California that will generate its own electricity from solar panels and its heating from geotherm. Having worked in an office for the last 10 years or so, I can testify that they use a lot of electricity. I mean, a lot. Computers and printers are nasty power vampires, and when you put a bunch of them together in one working space... well, you get the idea.
So good on David Kaneda. I hope it all works like he expects it to.
