Architect: Flansburgh Architects
This building is a zero-net-energy, LEED Platinum, and Living Building Challenge certified. It generates all of it's power via solar and wind collection. And of all energy collected, only 8% is used by the building (the rest is directed to the main campus). It also collects its own drinking water (filtered from waste water and heated by the previously mentioned energy). And on top of all of that, the building is naturally ventilated and has a radiant cooling system (because unlike Pittsburgh, Hawaii don't have any need for heaters or fire places or any of that nonsense to keep warm).
