NREL Selects Haselden Construction and RNL as Design/Build Team for New Zero Energy Builidng
Research Support Facilities (RSF) intended to be prototype for future U.S. office buildings
August 13, 2008, Denver, CO – The U.S Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) located in Golden, Colorado, has selected Haselden Construction and the design firm of RNL to design and build its new Research Support Facility (RSF). The design for the RSF is intended to create a "zero energy building" – one that produces as much energy as it uses. The building is also being designed to exceed the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum rating, the highest distinction given by the council for high performance green buildings. "We continually strive to raise the bar and bring exceptional value and performance in our buildings. Both Haselden and RNL consider it a great privilege to work with NREL on this prototype for future office buildings across the U.S.," said Ed Haselden, CEO and president of Haselden Construction.
