Duke Energy Village
Furman University, SC
Carbon neutral architecture is becoming a reality, based on the innovative design and renewable energy technologies demonstrated at this public renewable energy education center.
The design of the buildings and surrounding gardens explores the themes of wellness, natural energy flows, connection to the land, and water and resource stewardship. Five different solar renewable energy technologies are on display, along with geothermal renewable energy and smart grid technology.
