Harmony Library
The
new 31,000 square foot
Harmony Library in Fort Collins features efficient lighting and
windows, daylighting, an energy management system, and other energy-efficient
features. Although it cost about $45,000 more to design and build than a typical
library, it uses 46% less energy. The library saves approximately $12,000
annually on its utility bills, meaning the investment in energy efficiency is
providing a 27% rate of return. |
