The Science and Technology Facility is located to in Golden, Colorado and researches nanostructure technologies. Having an exterior made from pre-cast concrete, metal panels, windows and clerestories, the building provides a 40 percent reduction in energy use compared to standard laboratory buildings. Electronic lights can be dimmed or turned off automatically which allows the building to save energy. Having an east-west orientation, day lighting provides 100 percent of the ambient light requirements in open office areas and maximizes day lighting opportunities in laboratories. First floor occupants are able to control temperatures at work areas due to a raised floor air distribution system. Energy is also recovered from exhaust air and used to precondition supply air.
