Given the significant energy demands of chemistry facilities like the University of Maryland Chemistry Research Building, sustainability was at the forefront of design decisions. Exterior solar shading and ceramic frit coatings integral to the building’s character, manage indoor comfort, increase energy efficiency and preserve access to natural light. The colloquia room is thoughtfully positioned above a transparent Bio NMR core facility, providing shading for the temperature-sensitive environment while enabling abundant views from the adjacent campus passage. A novel approach of using heat recovery chillers to harvest waste heat from a neighboring central utility plant eliminates all fossil fuels to achieve an operationally carbon neutral building. 📷: James Ewing University of Maryland #Architecture #Engineering #Ballinger #UMD
