Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful night at The Phipps Conservatory in support and celebration of their recent partnership with The Green Building Alliance and their combined success in becoming the nation's greenest garden! -sounds a little ironic doesn't it? Having recently accepted The Living Building Challenge, their hope is to one day surpass the LEED platinum standards by generating their own energy with renewable resources, and capturing and treating all of its water on-site. With the use of radical roof designs, symbiotic heating systems, energy blankets, and earth tubes all partially powered by a fuel cell, we'd say their well on their way!
