Sustainability Base

NASA is building an office complex at its Ames Research Center that's being dubbed "Sustainability Base." Using the latest energy saving and eco-friendly technologies-- including some used on NASA spacefraft, the agency wants the building to be the "greenest" of federal buildings and to serve as a model for what's possible.

The building, which is going to use solar panels, fuel cells, and other technologies which NASA projects will have it use no net energy, is scheduled for completion by November, 2011.
