Hawaii Preparatory Academy by Flansburgh Architects – New Science Building
This Hawaii Preparatory Academy was designed by Flansburgh Architects. This New Science Building located at Kamuela, HI.
Description from Flansburgh Architects:
In this new 6,100 square foot renewable-energy research laboratory, students will study, design, and evaluate renewable-energy technologies. The award-winning facility meets the Living Building Challenge, a threshold that exceeds the USGBC’s Platinum LEED rating. It produces all of its own energy needs, harvests rainwater to meet its potable water needs, and provides natural ventilation and views to 100% of its occupied spaces. Sophisticated energy models were used to form the shape and fenestration of the building during the design.
