After decades of developing technology to explore space, NASA is bringing its expertise in self-sustaining systems back to Earth.<\/p>\n

The NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for Sustainability Base, a research center that will be a net zero energy building.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The project aims to be a proof-of-concept for sustainable design and a number of green technologies developed at NASA. <\/p>\n

The building will be powered by ground-source heat pumps from 72 geothermal wells, considered the most efficient way to heat and cool buildings. <\/p>\n

There will be solar hot water collectors and a network of sensors to react to changing conditions, such as sunlight, temperature, wind, and energy usage. Data on the building’s mechanical systems can be monitored via a Web-based console.<\/p>\n

NASA expects that the “high-performance building” will cut water usage by 90 percent compared to an equivalent-size building. NASA also hopes to significantly reduce maintenance costs. The structure itself will be built on top of steel frames and use natural daylighting extensively.<\/p>\n

NASA had contracted the architecture firms of famed “cradle to cradle” William McDonough and Swinerton Builders was hired to complete construction on the project.<\/p>\n

The $20.6 million building is expected to be completed by the end of 2011. NASA expects to get the Platinum level LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the highest level. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
