Navy Yard’s Perry Building to Feature Renewable Energy Pilot Program

The firm is partnering with Home Grid Energy Services in order to instal a number of solar panels and wind turbines on the Perry Building’s roof. The system will- at least ab initio- dish out just now the Perry Building and be tied to its independent electric equipment. Stantec is a publically-swaped, 9000-employee, 125-office design firm that is presently engaged in a number of other renewable energy projects (including some big wind farms) across the U.S. Other greenish features at the Perry Building let in an effective building envelope, arid urinals, a graywater system, and a number of recled-content construction materials.
