Project Overview:
A historic campus with aging infrastructure, Dartmouth College must dramatically cut energy use in existing buildings and construct efficient new buildings to meet its decarbonization goals. The Irving Institute for Energy and Society is a model for tackling both; it pairs an ultra-high-performance addition to a 1970s building with energy-improving renovations. The project physically manifests the institute’s vision; it draws all disciplines together to advance a zero-carbon future, and itself serves as a teaching tool for students, researchers, and design teams. The design supports occupant wellbeing and climate resilience with innovative systems that preserve natural connections in Climate Zone 6.
