BEA: 2016 BEA Commercial Over 10,000 sq. ft. Winner
The renowned energy-efficient Rocky Mountain Institute selected SIPs for its 2016 Innovation Center located high in the mountains of Basalt, Colorado. At almost 15.610 sq. ft., this building is net-zero, LEED Platinum and the largest Passive Certified structure in the world.
The Innovation Center has an air leakage rate of 0.36 ACH50 (97 percent less leakage than typical commercial buildings). With an energy use intensity of 15.9 kBtu/sq.ft./year, the building is designed to deliver two times more energy than it uses.
The 10.8 percent premium to achieve net zero is paid back in less than four years with the help of its high-performance SIPs.
