The awards include building projects as well as consumer products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The building was dedicated in a public ceremony on April 12, 2019. In September, a 180 KW solar array was activated on the roof of the Operations wing of the building, bringing the facility closer to the builders\u2019 goal of \u201cnet-zero\u201d energy efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe were focused on reducing the size of the building, being as energy-efficient as possible, and using passive techniques to achieve net-zero,\u201d Astl said. \u201cWe got there by using daylight instead of artificial lighting, natural ventilation, thermal chimneys to reduce the demand for air conditioning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Astl said the college is in the process of pursuing Living Building Challenge certification, which includes net-zero consumption as one of its requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m very confident it\u2019ll be net-zero,\u201d said Astl, adding that, based on real-time readings from the solar array, \u201cI think it will actually end up being net-positive, meaning it\u2019ll produce more energy than it\u2019ll consume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN MARCOS \u2014 The Maintenance &amp; Operations (M&amp;O) Building at Palomar College has been named one of the top 100 \u201cGreen GOOD DESIGN\u201d projects in the world.
