The hidden jewel of the Rocky Mountain front range strikes again in support of the planet! The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado has received a few national awards for their sustainability practices. They received two
Environmental Sustainability (eStar) awards and one
GreenGov Presidential Award for Green Innovation. Not only is NREL researching renewable fuels and energy efficiency they are actually implementing sustainable practices on the NREL campus. I think the culmination of these sustainable practices can be found in the new
Research Support Facility (see photo for a view inside the facility and their excellent use of daylighting). I took a tour of this facility last year and blogged about it in a post titled, "
NREL's Research Support Facility: A Lesson in Sustainability. I was floored by all of the sustainable techniques that NREL implemented into the building design. If you are an energy efficiency or sustainability geek I strongly recommend a tour of this facility.
Kudos to NREL for receiving these awards and providing a space that will inspire others to learn about sustainability.

Thats great news. It sounds like a double win. Both the building itself is innovative, as well as the research done inside.
This is amazing, states are providing such sort of grants and helps...its awesome...
Excellent system
